AKA and see "Fancy Clog Hornpipe," "Miss Hamilton's Reel," "Sterling Tom." Scottish, Irish; Hornpipe. D Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The tune was earlier published by P.M. Haverty in One Hundred Irish Airs vol. 2 (1858) as "Miss Hamilton's Reel." At about the same time as Kerr published his "Virginia Hornpipe [1]" a similar tune was published called "Fancy Clog Hornpipe" by blackface minstrel composer and performer biography:George H. Coes in his Coes Album of Jigs and Reels (1876). Coes tune has a number of concordances but also some melodic and harmonic differences, and may or may not be cognate or derivative (probably of "Miss Hamilton's Reel." See also note for "annotation:Sterling Tom" for more.
