BUTTERFLY HORNPIPE. American, Reel (2/4 time). USA, Nebraska. A Major. Standard or AEae tunings (fiddle). AABB. See the related tune "Brilliancy." Fr. John Quinn also suggests comparison with William Bradbury Ryan's "[{Dew Drop Hornpipe]]" and "Larry O'Neil's Clog". "Butterfly Hornpipe" shares almost no identical melodic material, however, the tunes are harmonically the same and have very similar melodica contours. They are as close as can be without being directly cognate, but "Butterfly Hornpipe" may well be a derivative.
