CHARMING FELOW, THE. English, Country Dance Tune (2/4 time). "Charming Fellow" was also entered in the mid-19th century music manuscript of William Winter (1774-1861), a shoemaker and violin player who lived in West Bagborough in Somerset, southwest England, and in the 1788 music copybook of Ensign Thomas Molyneaux (Shelburne, Nova Scotia), of the 6th Regiment. A version of the tune was the vehicle for a song in Dr. Arnold's Agreeable Surprise (London, 1781), a version that was also published in Thomas Cahusac's Compleat Tutor for the German Flute (1788, p. 34).
