Thread Name: origin of the tune Staten Island
Subject: RE: origin of the tune Staton Island
The title "Burns's Hornpipe" came first. It appears in Scottish manuscripts of the 1770s - so whoever Burns was, he wasn't the poet.

A lot of early Scottish versions don't have the C naturals.

Can we please not have any more Kuntzlore reposted here?
