Sailor's Hornpipe... a little shaky! Mostly sawstroke with 3 note upwards slurs toward the ends of the phrases.

Michael, sounds great, nice tone. And THANK YOU for adding your "sawstroke and 3 note upwards slurs" comment. I'm just learning this one, and I prefer your bowing to the Nashville which was advised by someone else. Also, I've changed some notes in my Fiddler's Fakebook to match yours because I like your version better. Nice job. And I just looked up hornpipes and found that they were indeed popular with sailors in the 1700s, so this song is probably very old.
