*Notes: Thanks to Gilbert Hoek van Dijke for contributingthe accordion recording and P. M. Blaja’s sheet music above, who writes, “The right title of this tune is ‘La Luna Dins L’Aiga’, a dance tune (scottische) written [by]Peire Maria Blaja. He is a diatonic accordeon player from Toulouse, France.” He notes that theoriginal score is in G major.

From another comment on this site: “Kerry Elkin, late fiddler from Massachusetts, recorded these tunes and stated that he’d learned them from a cassette tape by Serge Desaynay/Gilles LeBigot called “Tunes for America” which they self-produced to sell on during a tour in the United States in the 1980’s. There were only a few of these tapes made and not many survive. They are a great resource.”
