French tune sought
« on: December 08, 2008, 02:35:58 PM »

Our group has been invited to play at a town twinning ceremony at the end of January. To surprise(!) our visitors, I'm looking for a simple melody/folk tune from the Bordeaux / SW France area. Any pointers?

Yes, I was keeping that one in my back pocket, along with "Frere Jacques", if nothing better comes up.
