Arthur (by Eric Thézé)

I found this tune via Massimo Craveri's youtube channel.  Though he played the tune beautifully, he unfortunately he only knew the A part of the tune. I wrote to the author Eric Thézé and subsequently purchased his music book. I prefer the way the chords sound on my mandolin in D-minor but the A-minor is the key it was written. In either key the tune is beautiful.
Below is whole tune in both in an A-minor version and a D-minor version.

Here is a playlist of various interpretations of Arthur:

Spanish Space Tune aka Valse à Ollu

Although we usually play this as a waltz, often leading into The Monkey and Baboon for music sets, it's supposed origin is a French Bourée.

Malaika's notation:


It is a waltz called Valse à Ollu (by Alain Ollu) Seemingly becoming more popular as there a now a number of youtube versions.
Below what seems the 'standard' version of the notation. Interestingly, as has happened with some other tunes, we swap the A & the B


Ma De Schottische

This is a great, relatively recent tune that Calvaleigh introduced to the band.  I made a quick and dirty recording the other night at the P&B rehearsal.

I found this PDF, as well as many other cool tunes here.  Check out Esperanza while you're there.

A fast but very clear version to listen to:

Here is Malaika's notation and Will Wheeler's chords:

The Queen's Jig, Knives & Forks, and Dick's Maggot

 Along with the tunes from the first post, Ricker often played (some of) these during music breaks in the P&B shows.  This medley was taken from the second Bruno's CD, Bloody Knuckles!

I may have gotten this sheet music from Dave, back when he was trying out a variety of musical typesetting software.
