[Accordeonaire]

A great rendition of one of my favorite tunes. I find the B part inexplicably tricky. On the Gentiane recording, this is called "Breton Valse" and does come in a set after a great mazurka. Cornemuse player Michel Esbelin also refers to it as a Breton waltz, and it shows up in the Mel Stevens collections that way. Wow, as I was typing you guys came around to the final repeat ... what great energy you have. Nice honest, uncomplicated guitar. Thank you for posting!
