I think this is the same tune as Sailor's Hornpipe. Remember that in Bb you have low 4th fingers on E & A strings (no open E notes).
The B part might be unfamiliar to you. It's the way Mark O'Connor played it on one of his albums.
Yeah...must also be Sailor's Hornpipe...didn't they play that on PopEye? Gosh, good job...I can't exist on the fiddle in Bb...lol...kills me dead. thumbs up.

I don't know why there's such phobias about playing in flat keys. I think they're a lot of fun. They've sure got their own character.
If I can't do something in GDGD or ADAD, or possibly in D in standard...I usually just let it slide on by...lol.
You be you Peggy. We only got this one life, ya know?
I remember working on a tune called College Hornpipe, also in Bb, but it definitely didn't sound like Sailor's Hornpipe. I got it in sheet music form, so it was subject to my interpretation of somebody else's transcription for mandolin and all like that. Still, it was different. Also immune to my coaxing and pleading to fall under my fingers.

Bb was easier to grasp than some might be. I've had some success with Bb and Gm. Feels pretty good, actually.
