Father Bernie's Hornpipe
This is a tune penned by my buddy Jay Gilbert & he named it after a local character Fr, Bernie. Fr. Bernie is omnipotent in sessions around Rhode Island. He's alway there & loves the music alot. Some little known facts about Fr. Bernie: his drink of choice is diet coke & chardonay & his church is on the village of Harmony which I think is in Foster. This tune works in both C & D but since I learned it in C that's how I'm playing it - this tune is another good excuse for a whistler to get a C-whistle. Although this tune is in C it's not too hard on the fiddle, and it comes out easy.

Father Bernie's (Version 2.0)
Okay, so it's been a while since my "baby" got posted here, & it's all "grown up" now, so to speak. I basically decided to scrap the original "B" part in favor of (I hope) a much more interesting key change (A Dorian instead of continuing in C Major). So here's Fr. Bernie's (slight return):

the first 2 bars of part ii) sound like a run in Music for a Found Harmonium.
