EVENING PLEASURES SCHOTTISCHE. AKA and see "Rustic Dance-Scottische (3)," "Mason-Dixon Schottische (The)," "Nightingale (2) (The)." Old-Time, Schottische. B Flat Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB'. The first strain is a fairly widespread schottische melody under a variety of titles, although best known in the United States as "Rustic Dance" or similar sounding titles. It is a nearly identical melody to Missouri fiddler Uncle Bob Walters' "Rustic Dance-Scottische (3)", as printed by Bob Christeson in his Old Time Fiddler's Repertory, vol. 2. There is an “Evening Pleaures—rustic dance” by one M.W. Butler published in 1923, but I have not been able to locate a copy to see if it might be the source; the title would indicate some relationship. Indiana fiddler John Summers played this tune by the "Evening Pleasures" name, as did Nebraska fiddler Bob Walters and even North Carolina old-time fiddler Tommy Jarrell.
"Evening Pleasures" also was reportedly recorded by English concertina player Alexander Prince (1874-1928), but it does not appear under that title in Wes Williams' exhaustive discography [1] of the performer's issued recordings.
