NED KENDALL'S FAVORITE. American, Reel. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Ned Kendall [1] (1808-1861) was a renowned keyed-bugle player and bandleader based in eastern Massachusetts in the mid-19th century. Not the hornpipe listed below. The melody was apparently once quite popular, for it appears in White's Unique Collection' included in a page of reels labelled "Six Favorite Reels," in the company of such still-familiar tunes as "Miss McLeod's Reel (1)," "Arkansas Traveler," "Devil's Dream (1)," "Old Zip Coon" and "Lady Walpole's Reel."
