BEESWING. English, Reel (whole time). England, Northumberland. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Not the more famous "Bee's Wing (The)" by James Hill, but presumably honoring the same race horse. This "Beeswing" is attributed to Robert Lightfoot by Hall & Stafford; Lightfoot was a composer of several tunes to be found in Northumbrian collections.
