The Headlight
I like this tune very much. It is actually a clog dance rather than a hornpipe, but such a tune category doesn't exist on The Session. I first discovered it in an old Scottish tune book, but I haven't been able to discover for sure were this tune originates from.

According to the Fiddler's Companion it's American, but you can't believe everything you read...
