WILL PACKETT'S HORNPIPE. American, Reel (cut time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. The tune is sourced to fiddler Oscar biography:Os Scholes (1891-1984), of Mountain View, Arkansas. The tune is played at a quick pace, but slightly 'swung'. The first strain is a distanced member of the "Dubuque"/"Duck River" family of tunes, and also is cognate with the Ozarks-collected "Four Cent Cotton (2)" (as played by Sam Younger).
