I have been listening to a Swedish Concertina Group playing a Folk Tune and suddenly I remember the similarity between the Concertina tune and the Italian one. Could it have been something like "Pepipito Pepito" it was a very catchy little tune and we came back from Italy with a copy of it. Your assistance would be appreciated. Al |

Even I am impressed with my memory naming the tune after all these years. Thank you very much for finding it for me. Al |

It sounds like a really old Tango. At the time of Pepito there was a great interest in Cha Cha and I wonder if this Tango has been bent to change the rhythms. Al |
