Cock of the North (3)
X:1 T:Cock o' the North [3] D:Jackie Daly, "Many's a Wild Night", track 13(b) M:12/8 N:From the album notes by Ma/ire O'Keeffe: N:[T]he last two slides are versions of the well known N:"Cock o'the North". This is a common Scottish piping N:tune which can be found in 6/8 time in James Hunter's N:"The Fiddle music of Scotland" No. 299, where we are N:told that the Cock o' the North was an honorary title N:for the Duke of Gordon. The second tune came from N:the playing of Maurice O'Keeffe of Kishkeam who N:attributed this version to the playing of Johnny Billy, N:a far-out relation of Tom Billy's who was renowned N:for the sweetness of his playing. According to N:Maurice, Johnny Bill was a shy man and was never N:recorded.
