Fisher's Hornpipe

This Irish hornpipe is well known, and part of almost every fiddler's repertoire. It can be played as a hornpipe, a reel, and even bluegrass-fast! You can find it in the Fiddler's Fakebook. There's another version, in a different key, in the New England Fiddler's Repertoire, and I'm sure you can find it in various other resources. This particular version was found online at http://www.blackflute.com/music/tunes/hornpipes/fishers.html

Though we've known and played this tune for years, we thought we'd focus on it this week and maybe learn a new trick or two... make it something special in our own repertoire!
