T:SHOWMAN'S FANCY (hornpipe), The\
C:ABC/arr. BB\
N:1:O'Brien's florid setting, which is probably where Joe Derrane (a \
pupil of O'Brien's) got his own. I reproduce it exactly as it appears \
in the book (but see N:2 below), knowing full well that 99.9% of the \
visitors to webABC will never be interested in playing the tune in \
this setting. It makes me wonder why O'Brien bothered to include it \
like this, but occasionally box players who produce tune books get a bit\
carried away with their own capabilities. Fortunately there are several \
"user-friendly" versions of this tune in the ITTL, e.g. in "Allan's \
Irish Fiddler (tunefolder 11).\
N:2:As usual with O'Brien's hornpipes, this appears with cut time \
throughout. Since reproducing all the cuts would add to the work of \
transcribing this piece (and completely foul up the playback), I have \
omitted them.\
