Anybody got a transcription (preferably ABC) of this?

I don't have a transciption, but have you run into this lovely version of the song?  I love all the dancers and the centered feeling of the accordion player.

To Jack from Jack....

What a great tune. Thanks.
Here are my notebook pages for DG fingering, a choice of E minor or A minor. Quavers are meant to be played swung, not equal.
The A minor version can be played with chords, but sounds either too high (or too low) on my CF box, so even shriller on DG.
The E minor version sits nicely in middle range, but  that A#  (=Bb) is a problem as it's a push note, and needs a pull chord (F#).
Still I prefer the E minor one.

Oh this is a beautiful tune that i've not yet heard of. I want to learn it as well. (:)
I'll wait a bit and if nobody has an ABC version of it at hand, I'm going to type the notes provides by Jackhumphreys into my magic computer program. This will then give me a midi file which can easily be converted to ABC as far as i know.

Found the original by the master. Have to admit, the Castagnari sounds pretty good when he playes it. I think the tune is identical to  youtube posted earlier.

Fred.... I can't guarantee my version is correct, so do check. It will be good to have properly printed notation, when you've done your computer magic.  I haven't found any readymade  notation on a quick google image search.

Can't see a way round the B chord for us 8 bassers. Lovely tune.

Putting Jack Humphreys' version together with what I remember of the fiddle version I first heard, in her key...

Code: [Select]

   "A"^C2A   A2C A2C| A3   A6      |"D" A2B  A2G ^F2E |    D2E   D2C   B,2A,||

The only significant change is shortening those notes in the B part.

Like it says in the comments: Lätt om foten.  I started a thread about it a few weeks ago.

Topics merged.

If searching for info on a tune from Youtube a good tip is to use the forum's standard search to look for the URL of the YouTube clip.

Awesome, Jack! Very sensitive playing and it seems to have paid off that you have practiced the tune for such a long time. That's one of the best renditions I've heard of the tune in a long time. Thumbs up!
