Quilty Hornpipe

I got this hornpipe from local San Francisco box/concertina player Bruce Sherman. Bruce told me he learned the tune from a local band that was around in the 1980s called "The All-Oakland Ceili Band." The only recording I was able to fine with the Quilty Hornpipe on it is an nautical album titled "Billy Bones and other Ditties" by another local Bay Area musician, Skip Henderson. Skip learned the tune from Bruce Sherman too.

The Mountain Top?

This looks a lot like a setting of "The Mountain Top" taken up a whole step.

Nice tune, either way!
