J.B. MILLER'S HORNPIPE. AKA and see "Old Viole." American, Reel (cut time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Owen County native Joseph Bernard "J.B." Miller (1902-2002) ran a music shop from his garage off Southland Drive, Lexington, Kentucky, and was an amateur maker of violins. A somewhat irascible character, Miller was a storyteller and something of a natural philosopher (he once told a client that he fashioned the back of the violin he made for him from timber from the USS Constitution). See note for "annotation:Old Viole" for more on this tune.
