X:1 T:Shelty's Pipes M:6/8 L:1/8 R:Jig B:”Melodist: A Collection of music in two volumes" (1826-1859, Supplement No. 5, p. 5) N:The melodist is a musician's ms., probably by a fiddler, that contains both N:tunes and songs from a variety of sources, American and European. The N:inscription on the inside cover reads, "This is from the Bridge family of N:Augusta, Maine (Horatio Bridge, friend of Hawthorne's)". However, entries in N:the ms. were in different hands indicating several contributors. N:The ms. is neat and the notation studied and precise. N:"Shelty's Pipes" likely copied from "Riley's Flute Melodies vol. 1" F:https://archive.org/details/Melodist/page/n125/mode/2up?view=theater Z:AK/Fiddler’s Companion K:G G2E G2E|G2B BGE|G2E G2E|F2A AFD| G2E G2E|G2B BGB|c>de dBG|F2A AFD|| G2g gdB|G2B BGE|G2g gdB|F2A AFD| G2g gdB|gdB gdB|c>de dBG|F2A AFD|| G2E G2E|G2B BGE|e2B e2B|e3 e2b| e3 e2b|e3 e2b|e2b e2b|e3 e2z||
