X:6 T:Durang's Hornpipe [1] R:Reel C:New York, 1785, by Mr. Hoffmaster H:Composed in honor of the then renowned dancer and actor John Durang. N:This is a "straightened out" version, giving the basic melody line. N:Cyril Stinnett, Cleo Persinger and others played the "A" part of this N:tune with a wholly different melody in the 2nd half of the "A" part. N:Durang's Hornpipe as it appears in Cole's gives an example of this N:variation. A:Missouri Z:B. Shull, trans.; R.P. LaVaque, ABCs M:2/4 L:1/16 Q:120 K:D V:1 clef=treble name="6."
