None So Pretty

[Jim Besser]

None So Pretty. Fooling around with some alternative fingerings, I somehow drifted back to the first tune I learned on Anglo concertina, or at least a version of it: None So Pretty is an 18th century English dance tune that spawned the common Morris dance tune, Constant Billy. Which may have been the first Morris dance I played, a long time ago.

 

My slow, non-Morrisy version is another tune influenced by the playing of melodeonist Frank Lee, whose Bric - A - Brac CD is a rich lode of great tunes and playing.
