This is a beautiful tune composed by Andre Marchand of La Bottine Souriante. It has been recorded by Claire Mann and also Tony McManus. I have transcribed the tune more or less as I play it, having learned it by ear from these albums.

"Mornings At Bonny Doon"
Not to be overly pedantic or anything, but there is, of course, its French name: "Les matins de Bonny Doon". In any language, a pretty ditty for sure. I plan on introducing it to our band, Tesserae, tomorrow night for inclusion in one of our Quebecois sets. Many thanks to John J.

Waltz?
I'd consider this an air. My old friend André Marchand composed this piece at my house in Bonny Doon. I actually have a photo I took of him while he was out in the yard doing just that. If I knew how to post the photo, I would. I'm honored that his lovely tune came forth here and I'm delighted that it has traveled so well - surely the mark of a fine melody. André is responsible for a number of others as well.
Tony McManus's rendition (which has been ceremonially played in my living room on several occasions) is quite wonderful as well.
