Grigsby's Hornpipe

A 9-part tune, Grigsby's Hornpipe source recording is Eck Robertson, the "Famous Cowboy Fiddler" from Texas. Colonel Melvin Grigsby may be the namesake for the tune, having gained some fame himself when he prompted Congress to pass an act to form his cavalry. That act led to Teddy's Rough Riders, which may have led to his ascension to the U.S. presidency.
