Hope you like these tunes........................... Mrs.Belle's Square set ......a set of four Newfoundland dance tunes. Bill (Nesbitt) has a deep connection to Newfoundland. He is able to spend a small part of the year in Harbour Grace and is embedded in the rich session scene there. I worked for three years in Harbour Breton, Nfld, and both my children were born there. Here is the source collection of these tunes, compiled by Christina Smith.......we play them at about 75% the speed that they dance them in kitchens etc but we like it at this tempo and feel the tunes breathe a little more freely. https://inshorepublications.ca/wp/like-the-bird I've attached the sheet music.........interesting time signature changes..................it took me many dozens of times listening to the set until I felt able to try it on the anglo. Bill and I have determined that our next practice together we will work on more chording and additional smiles ! Thanks for listening ! Mrs. Belle's Square set.pdf
