Re: [abcusers] mystery Breton tune
The Tannahill Weavers play it as part of a set of mixed tunes: this is the information they provide (no much, I'm afraid!): To close the selection we have chosen a Breton melody. We have it on authority from good friends and partners in musical crime Bleizi Ruz that this is an Andro, a Breton dance, which, unfortunately, nobody seems to know the title of! (http://www.tannahillweavers.com/) So now, your mystery Breton tune is a mystery Breton Andro! (well, better than nothing, I guess) Cheers, Manuel Waldesco Edinburgh Looking through old mail, I ran across this one. Did anyone give you any information about the tune?

But that's sorta like calling a tune Irish Jig. Oh, well; there are lots of nameless tunes in this world. To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
