Re: [Musicians] Another Chestnut tune question

I love the chestnut dances! At a couple weekend workshops, I've done an Old & New workshop: Dance Petronella, then dance a modern dance with the signature move. Same with Rory O'More. And when I think about it, I think Hull's Victory is a very early, if not the first dance, with the short wavy balances. Lamplighters is an early dance that includes the long wave at the sides. And both of those are chestunts with their own tunes. Next time I'll try to do those all. I've never played it in D. Have to try it. But I love it in F. For what it's worth, I've worked on Fisher's in both D and F, though usually play it in D. ~Erik -----Original Message----- From: Musicians [mailto:musicians-bounces@lists.sharedweight.net] On Behalf Of Susie Lorand via Musicians Sent: Tuesday, October 31, 2017 5:11 AM To: musicians(a)sharedweight.net Subject: Re: [Musicians] Another Chestnut tune question Emily, I'm delighted you're thinking about what to play for chestnuts, since I love dancing them! Now I'm curious how many people actually play Hull's Victory in F! (Although it's published in that key in NEFR, I've usually played it in D.) Regarding Rory O'More: Rum & Onions (in NJ) has used a medley that includes Larry O'Gaff and something else and maybe Scarce o' Tatties. I could look it up when I have more time, unless someone else gets to it first. Susie Lorand (now in Ann Arbor, MI) On Tue, 31 Oct 2017, Erik Hoffman via Musicians wrote:
