BLANCHARD'S HORNPIPE [1]. AKA and see "McCarty's Hornpipe"/"McCarthy's Hornpipe," "Roxborough Castle." American, Hornpipe. A Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Similarities with "Devil's Hornpipe" and "Speed the Plow (1)." The second strain, Paul de Grae points out, can be considered a "floater", in the sense of folk song floating verses. Variants of it can be heard in "Walsh's Hornpipe" and "McCarty's Hornpipe."
