Tune Information

Author: Traditional

Origin: England

This title dates from about 1795 and may be associated with freemasonry, but the tune also appeared as "Seven Stars"in 1750 and likely is based on even older versions. It was probably also a fife and drum tune, and according to oral history may have been played by the American rebels while burning the HMS Gaspée in Warwick, Rhode Island, June 9th, 1772, because it was associated with unpopular trade regulations.

Tune Information

Author: Réjean Brunet

Origin: Canada - Quebec

This tune was written in 1997 in a building called The Ice House at the Augusta Heritage festival in Elkins, West Virginia. The tune was created in a class taught by Quebec accordion player Réjean Brunet, who composed the first strain and then asked the students to complete the second strain, following his chords.

Tune Information

Author: Traditional

Origin: Ireland

The title stems from the fact that this tune was used as the melody for a song for Thomas Jefferson's 1800 US presidential campaign. The original tune was named The Gobby-O, a title that may refer to a beggar boy, someone that talks too much, or perhaps a small freshwater fish.
