"Pigeon on the Gatepost" is a Canadian reel known in Canada and Prince Edward Island<br> in G Major. The parts are played AB.<br> Bayard collected it from a Mr. Simmons in the 1930's. He indicates that the F's in<br> measures 3 and 5 of the A part were played somewhat flattened.<br> This is a major mode variation of "Paddy on the Turnpike".<br> The melody is not related to the Irish reel called "Pigeon on the Gate".<br> It was printed in Bayard's Dance to the Fiddle, Appendix No. 8, p. 575 (1981).<br>
