I saw you sneaking an E minor tune in there, Lester!

Le Saut du Lapin (Rabbit Stew)

Good to see this fine tune getting its proper title. The original French title contains a pun which the English title makes into a mess. (geddit)

I'm curious. Have you got all these tunes in your head or do you to have to a) look at the dots and b) rehearse them before you film them?

Quite a feat in any case!!

I am still in the 'tunes I know and know the name of' so mostly just play them. I sometimes need a quick look at the ABC if I have not played them for a while. Still ~80 to go on that list then there is the 'tunes I know that I don't know the name of' so they will need a bit of research.
I think I can get to 365 tunes without any difficulty. Mind you I try to learn 3 or 4 tunes a month anyway.

Britannia Two Step is a lovely tune Lester, well played. Off to learn it now

Anahata · « **Reply #178 on:** January 16, 2013, 10:32:35 AM »

I know that as the first half of Looking for A Partner, on the New Victory Band album One More Dance and Then.

Britannia Two Step

To me that tune is evocative of the seaside and a calliope at the end of the pier. I like it.
