My theory about the Badby version is that the musician was trying to play a more conventional version in G, but on a one-row C melodeon, hence the 'bluesy' sound!!

We (Earl of Stamford Morris) like the tune, as it has lots of 'character', and we do a slightly modified version of the dance - particularly the 'slows'.

Slight thread creep - the Badby version of 'Shooting' is much more interesting than the conventional tune, and odd in that there are only seven bars to a phrase instead of eight, which gives it an unusual feel.
