HOOKER'S HORNPIPE [2]. American, Hornpipe or Reel (2/4 time). USA; north Missouri, Nebraska. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The low part is reminiscent of Clayton McMichen's tune "McMichen's Reel." Hooker may refer to the Civil War general Joe Hooker, or, as Howard Marshall points out, to a laborer on a riverboat, a petty thief or pickpocket, a one-masted fishing boat, loggers, etc. It is on Missouri fiddler Charlie Walden's list of '100 essential Missouri fiddle tunes'.
