CHIPS AND SHAVENS. AKA and see "Blind Man's Ramble," "Jackey's Fancy." English, Reel. England, Northumberland. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB (Hall & Stafford): AABB (Callaghan): AABBCC (William Vickers). A popular reel in England, judging by its inclusion in a number of 19th century musicians' manuscripts, although not appearing in period printed works. Barry Callaghan (2007) finds "Chips and Shavins" in the music manuscripts of H.S.J.

Printed sources: Hall & Stafford (Charlton Memorial Tune Book), 1974; p. 8. Callaghan (Hardcore English), 2007; p. 31. Raven (English Country Dance Tunes), 1984; p. 182.
