I'm having a bit of a tunes frenzy at the moment, having been given several tune books for Christmas. Learning lots of different Playford Tunes: 'The Beggar Boy' trying to pair it with 'Bobbing Joe' (they fit well, but they're also on the same page in the book, very handy!) 'Millison's Jig' 'Millfield' Also: 'Jack Worrell's Hornpipe' 'R Key's Hornpipe' from Three Extroardinary Collections (wonderful book) To whoever it was mentioned the 'Jeeves & Wooster' theme: there's a musical turn of phrase that keeps cropping up in these old hornpipes that kept on nagging me, until I realised it was from the Hercule Poirot theme. At some point I shall have to learn it, and find a way of shoehorning it into a set.
