X:1 T:Paddy in York M:6/8 L:1/8 R:Jig B:”Melodist: A Collection of music in two volumes" (1826-1859, Supplement No. 4, p. 4) N:The melodist is a musician's ms., probably by a fiddler, that contains both N:tunes and songs from a variety of sources, American and European. The N:inscription on the inside cover reads, "This is from the Bridge family of N:Augusta, Maine (Horatio Bridge, friend of Hawthorne's)". However, entries in N:the ms. were in different hands indicating several contributors. N:The ms. is neat and the notation studied and precise. N:This entry was copied from Riley's Flute Melodies vol. 1 (1814) F:https://archive.org/details/Melodist/page/n125/mode/2up?view=theater Z:AK/Fiddler’s Companion K:G c3 B3|A2G FED|G2B BAB|G2B BAB| c3 B3|A2G FED|G2d edc|BcA G2z| cec BdB|ABG FED|G2B BAB|G2B BAB| cec BdB|ABG FED|G2d edc|BcA G3| c2a B2g|ABG FED|G2B d2B|GBc dcB| c2a B2g|ABG FAc|Bdg edc|BcA G2z| e2c’ d2b|c2B Adc|B2g gfg|d2b bab| e2c’ d2b|cag fd’c’|bdg edc|BcA G2z||
