Caught in the Middle
I started writing this one a couple of years ago and had thought of it as a reel. I was never quite happy with it, and recently tried playing it as a hornpipe -- and it clicked. (I tend to play hornpipes with out much swing, if at all, and at set dancing speed)

Thanks gang
I appreciate the encouragement. When I explain how I play hornpipes it's only to help you see what I originally had in mind, it doesn't mean it has to be played that way -- swing away. Also, I realize that as soon as you release a tune into the ITM pool it's subject to variables. I'm flattered that anyone took any interest in it at all, and I don't worry that it will remain note for note in its journey. Thanks again.

Caught in the Middle
I should add that I'm caught in the middle between playing the first bar A an octave higher and the way it is. That would go for all the similar bers as well. In other words; instead of afdA it would be afda.

bers = bars

Me too! If it gets too jangled up in my hands I'll come back and haunt you with it...

It's now definately a reel
After playing this for some time (and on concertina as opposed to flute) I have rearranged the notes (mostly in the first part,) and it plays as a reel instead of a hornpipe. I updated the ABCs, but the midi and sheet music is likely to remain the way it was.
