ABC's for all of the tunes in Walsh's 3rd book of the most celebrated jigs are already on the internet. Not in the bibliography of the book above is the Thompsons' book of 120 Hornpipes, the contents of which are listed on my website in ENGDANB. Also not listed are the 3 volumes of Mat. Seattle's edition of the Northumberland Vickers MS, c 1772, as 'The Great Northern Tune Book', where many of the tunes may be found. An early call call of a hornpipe for a dance at a wedding feast, c 1565, is in the song by John Wallis in the Scare Songs file on my website. Note in the bibliography the article by Cannon in 'Folk Music Journal', in which he listed and reproduced many tunes. Many of these, however, can be found in much earlier copies than those he cites, e.g., Yellow Stockings, Faraway Wedding, and others, listed on my website.
