04 Sep 01 - 05:39 AM (#541375) Subject: Favorites and Fancies From: Skipjack K8 I'm working up another tune at the moment, osmosed (?) in Italy, and want to name it after yet another young lady. I have been musing about using Favorite or Fancy in the title, but know nothing of the tradition of nomenclature of this type. Where better to ask. Skipjack |

Doesn't mean he wrote it, but that he is closely associated with the tune. I imagine the same to be true of a Fancy. But if you write a tune, you can of course call it what you will, for whatever reason! "Skipjack's fancy" could refer to the young lady, as well as the tune... :0) (Fancy) Noreen |
