French Tune: Mominette (was Scottisch a Bethanie)

A scottish is a popular French dance, not especially related to the schottische (or other spellings). I learned this tune many years ago from the blue Massif Central tunebook (tune 12). I did not know the name (trad. arr.) so I named it for my wife.

Edit: on Melodeon.net I learned in December 2010, that this tune has a title, "Mominette," and was written by Maxou Heintzen, a French musician associated with La Chavanee.

There's a Morris team that dances to a variation of this tune. Nice version this!

@k8sl I would love to see the dance that they've built around this tune.

[Accordeonaire]

@bartchwdp I play often at weddings. The accordion always makes the room happier!

Very nicely played... unique sounding is a great pleasure to listen to sensible playing... I wish you well my friend. 10/10

Thank you -- I always try to be sensible with my playing -- not flashy or overly complicated.

The Morris dance is called Boggart's Breakfast, and if you care, I can ask the guy I learned it from which team dances it, because it slips my mind @ the moment, but I think they are a border team.

@Accordeonaire I love seeing everyone happy at weddings when you are playing an instrument. I am a bell ringer, so although it's not exactly an instrument it's still great to see everyone so happy :)
