This tune was known in colonial times and was already known as<br> "Fisher's Hornpipe" in both England and post revolutionary<br> United States when it was written out by John Greenwood in his<br> copybook for the German flute of c. 1783. Another 18th century<br> American publication, a 1796 collection entitled An Evening<br> Amusement for German Flute and Violin, was printed in Philadelphia<br> by Benjamin and Joseph Carr and contains the hornpipe set in<br> 'D' Major. An American country dance was composed to the tune<br> and first appeared in this country in John Griffith's Collection,<br> a Rhode Island publication of 1788.<br> <br> I learned this some time ago. I don't remember from whom.<br>
