LOVELY HORNPIPE

This is a lovely arpeggioic (if that is a word!) hornpipe. rarely played and sometimes neglected but beautiful all the same.
there is another on the data base of ths name but is an extreme if not totally different version.
enjoy playing it!

The Back Of The Haggard - It's the same as Woodcock Hill

It's the same as a hornpipe called Woodcock Hill, which is on a Patrick Street album. Lovely tune, though.

A haggard is an orchard,if I'm not mistaken.

An orchard?

well i asked my father and he said that his uncle used to call his dung heap a haggard....

like a big heap of sh*te piled up against a wall....

if this is the correct definition of a haggard then im lost to think why anyone would name sucha lovely tune after it....

mabye it means the back of a haggard person
