OSCAR'S HORNPIPE. AKA - "Timber Tom." Canadian, Reel (whole time). Canada, New Brunswick. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Compare with the Irish reel "Tom is gone to the Fair." The tunes are structurally similar and the first strains are somewhat distanced but cognate, while the second strains share less melodic correspondences but are nevertheless similar in melodic contour.
