Subject: RE: Tune Req: Pigeon on the Gate Hornpipe
If we google this:

chris foster pigeon on the gate

a page comes up that lets us listen to it so we know which 'Pigeon on the Gate' Fyldeplayer (OP)is looking for. That oughta help.

I have converted the ABC above to musical notation, and it is close to Chris Foster's version, but I believe it lacks the charm. It would take a lot of time to pin down, but I believe that in certain places where the ABC foozles about going up and down stepwise, Chris Foster puts in broken major chords that add sprightliness and sweetness.

If you want to convert the abc, put a line at the top that says X:1.
