Blowzabella or Blowzabella my bouncing doxieClick
here to play or download midi file A somewhat baldy and degenerate tune and ballad, but still a great tune. It is old
mist likely dating back to at least the early 17th century when other debourched ballads seemed very
popular, it is included in Pils to Purge Melancholy in six volumes 1698 to 1706, edited by
Thomas D’Urfey and published by Henry Playford. As can seen in this version from
Wright’s Country dances Vol 1 1720, it had become a dance tune. Happy Playing, David Jacobs

Scottish MorvandelleClick
here to play or download mp3 file The 2000 movie Chocolat was based in the Morvan region of France.
One of the last scenes in the film is a village fete and there is dancing, the tune played a Scottische.
I bought the soundtrack CD by Rachel Portman only to discover thence tune wasn’t on it! So I dubbed
it from the DVD and subsequently transcribed it. The village is a real place,
Flavigny-sur-Ozerain. Happy Playing, David Jacobs
