Here's another hornpipe to add to the SAW Other Tune file. This is one of my favorites. Lovely tune and very playable for all experience levels.

Very nice, Mike. I like the hornpipey bounce. Cleanly played and good sound from your Eastman.
Thanks for your kind words, Manfred. After playing a few different mandolins at our local music store, the Eastman always sounded best to my ears. Besides that, that's what you and Eddie were playing at the time, so I bought this one. I've enjoyed playing it everyday since I bought it. So, a hearty thanks to you and Eddie.
Great tune, Mike. You do make it sound nice with that mandolin.
Nice one! It sounds familiar to me by another title, but I can't think what it is.
That's certainly a great tune in your hands... and the tone from that mandolin is fantastic, no wonder you love to play it!
