Has anyone else noticed the the strong similarity between Saut du Lapin/Rabbit Stew and the well-known traditional French tune, Schottische à Catinaux?

Yes.
Except I play Scottish à Catinaux the other way round, so it's the B music (I think I relearned it that way from Jean Blanchard, who I presumed knew what he was doing)
I learnt it from Jean Blanchard's album Accordeon Diatonique. He didn't play it the reverse way round on that recording.

Lester this is a very odd abc file! I thought the main problem was that the B music doesn't have opening repeat marks which screws it up entirely but even with the |: in place it plays back very oddly in ABC Explorer and I'm at a loss to explain why!
Having the extra set of repeats at the end of each 2nd-time bar is not really very good ABC syntax, although it may work with some ABC decoders. (Barfly for Mac ignores the repeats at the end of the 2nd-time bars.)X: 1

Well spotted Steve, it was the erroneous second time repeats that were messing things up!
Steve, I think your abc might have inadvertently acquired an extra half a beat in bar 7?
Should I need any defence it is tha the tune was just a cut'n'paste from JC's Tune Finder ;)
Steve, I think your abc might have inadvertently acquired an extra half a beat in bar 7?Guilty as charged. Poor proof reading on my part, sorry :|bl
I'd suggest voting for something like the Bear Dance instead; a lovely tune with lots of possibility, but really very simple to learn.
Just to remind everyone that the 'Bear Dance' Blowzabella brought back in the 70's is a misremembered wrong version. The difference is only in one phrase but astonished Geert Oude Weernink in Whitney a couple of years ago. So we'd need to go back to source? |
Excuse me but there is no bear dancing in the winter .......

Go anything but Bear Dance! Please... :-\Yes... mine was a tactical vote ;)

[i concur and recognise the present trend as having been predictable. A part of the fun for me is not to vote, and then to make something (hopefully positive) of the result: (not a philosophy I apply to general elections in the main), all the best Bill.]
As many members of the forum are byearists without dot or abc reading skills would it be possible for a very simple bare bones version of suggested tunes for t o m to be put on you tube or whereever so as to give everybody an even chance so to speak.
The problem with democracy is you don't always get what you want ;)
May be we should change to single transferable vote or some other proportional representation system, but there again we had a vote on that in the UK recently and we didn't want that either (well more didn't want it than did).

There are Youtube videos of all the suggested tunes in the first post, - or is your point that they aren't "bare bones" enough? In which case... who's going to do it?
Go Molly Oxford (he says forlornly!) ;DHow is this lovely morris tune, which appeared recently as a favourite of so many here, getting overlooked while bears and rabbits are galloping away (not sure that bears or rabbits 'gallop' but you know what I mean)?!

I've just deleted a message which said that Molly Oxford wasn't suitable, as couldn't be harmonised adequately on 8 basses
