Fine Companion - FINE COMPANION, THE. AKA - "Fine Companions." English, Country Dance Tune (6/8 or 6/4 time). D Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The melody appears in Playford's first edition of his English Dancing Master (1651). It is perhaps associated with the play by Shackerley Marmion (1603-1639), his second, a comedy that was also entitled A Fine Companion, staged by Prince Charles's Men at Salisbury Court and published in 1633.
