X:1 T:Retreat, A T:Air [31] M:3/4 L:1/8 S:The Buttery Manuscript (c. 1784-1820, No. 27, p. 6) N:John Buttery (1784-1854) joined the 34th Regiment in Lincoln, N:Lincolnshire, England, in 1797 and served as a fifer until discharged in N:1814. His large ms. contains marches, duty calls, dance tunes and airs. N:EASMES identifies this as the Fife MS. and suggests a date of 1780, see N: https://www.cdss.org/elibrary/Easmes/Index.htm Z:AK/Fiddler’s Companion K:G G>A|B2B2 (3GBd|c2B2 (3G(Bd)|e2A2 AB|A4 GA| B2 cBAG|E2 DEGA|B2G2 GA|A4:| |:GA |Bc d2 de|de dcBA|G2g2 gag|GA Bc d2 de| de dcBA|G2g2 gag|de fe f>af>a|ed egeg| edcB AG|A4 GA|B2 cBAG|E2 DEGA|B2G2 GA|G4:|]
