Leapin' Lizard's Triple Time Hornpipe

This is a 6/4 tune written by Elaine Bradtke of Sound and Fury Morris and Sword. Besides the appeal of the triple time(for which I share a fondness akin to that for women who wear spectacles) it is  an English-style tune from the US morris tradition. It was written for Liz Savage of S&F.

Mrs Saggs

A tune by Chris Wood who had a duo with Andy Cutting for many years.  Hipped to it (like many tunes lately) by John Spiers and his shed sessions.

A tune from a blind fiddler James Knight of Yorkshire.  From the Joshua Burnett’s MS, c1835.

A straight playing of it.  I'll likely post a swingier one in a bit.
