If I had not been in such a hurry (I should have been doing something else) I might have remembered this was the Bledington tune collected by the Travelling Morris. I do remember seeing Southdown Morris dance to this at Towersey maybe 25 years ago (maybe more). It was played by a teenage member of the side who played it exactly as Roger Watson played it on the record. I wonder what happened to him?

That teenage player was me😊.

 I had posted a version of the tune a while back

Thank you Steve.
I’d admit it took a few takes to get it right. Hadn’t played it in years and I was trying to convert it over to a 3 row in a different key as the old D/G was in bits at the time.

On paper it should be easy shouldn’t it  ::)

Do you have a Hohner from 1934-1945 with a serial number on?
Send me a private message or comment on the German Accordion Problem spreadsheet to improve the statistics of the project and get an estimate of the production date of the box if it is not known.

Older, Fatter, Wiser (maybe). I remember loving the fact Roger lent me his box during the filming
