Two or three from Vickers - The Kirn Staff (Kirn = Corn, as in Kirn Supper) and the Threshers,
also perhaps The Hare in the Corn, though the hare being in the corn is more of a problem before you have cut it. You'd expect musicians at a Kirn supper. There are probably a few more out there. Of course I nearly forgot Corn Rigs. John In a message dated 02/09/2011 12:45:27 GMT Daylight Time, [email protected] writes: Yes, Cut & Dry is the obvious one. I did a survey of versions for an article in the NPS mag many (harvest) moons ago, and have since come up with more information and my own version, but one good version is enough (e.g. Peacock or Dixon). Others with appropriate titles are Jack's Gone A-Shearing (Vickers) and Robin Shure In Hairst [=Sheared in Harvest/Autumn] (in Dixon as Mock The Soldier's Lady), both fine 3/2 hornpipes. These have made me ponder about a connection between the lost 3/2 hornpipe and the physical activity of harvesting - I have read that pipers played for harvest workers. -- To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html --
