I was happily playing (albeit in a stately and measured fashion) the Wonder Hornpipe when half way thru I went off into another tune. Nothing strange there, it's a bad habit and I do it all the time. However, in this case I'm pretty sure I've never played it before and I can't remember from whence it came - I'm guessing it's one of those 'learned by osmosis' by repeated listenings and probably from years ago.
I've only got the second part, and it goes as follys:
X:1
T: Mystery Hornpipe, The
M:4/4
L:1/8
R:hornpipe
K:Gmaj
You're probably all groaning at its familiarity and thinking how could he not know that! But I've been pondering it for a week or more and even asked a mate or two without success. Anybody able to give it a name, and even a first part will be amply rewarded next time I'm buying a Guinness or 2. Or something.
I can't name it, but I'm sure I have a recording of it somewhere - a box player, I think (I can't dig it out at the moment because it's in London and I'm in Portugal). It's definitely not The Beeswing.
Thanks to my 4 respondents, and a heartfelt well done to Spindizzy - the very tune!
It's all coming back to me now. I first heard it on a Dubliners LP, 'Finnegan Wakes' in 1976 when I met and fell in love with my beloved colleen from Donegal and whom I married in 1977. Not so much getting hitched as gaining a record collection! The Dubs paired it with 'The Mountain Road'. Sounds good to me.
You're welcome
(I knew that I played that tune .... but it took forever for to come up with the name!). Now I'll have to try thr Mountain Road as well.
Name this tune?

Perhaps a version of the Bee's Wing? I always get it confused with Coey's.

I'm off to practice the first part. Thanks again.
