"The Quaker" is an English morris dance tune in 4/4 time and G Major. The parts are played<br> ABB.<br> The tune and dance (a morris side-step and half hey) were collected from the<br> village of Bampton, Oxfordshire, in England's Cotswolds. At beginning of the 20th century,<br> when much morris material was collected, morris dancing in Oxfordshire and Gloucestershire<br> was seldom still being performed, with the exception of that in the village of Bampton,<br> kept alive largely by the enthusiasm of dancer and fiddler William "Jinky" Wells. Wells was<br> recorded on 78 RPMs by the English Folk Dance and Song Society before he died.<br> The tune was printed in Bacon's The Morris Ring (1974) and<br> Mallinson's Mally’s Cotswold Morris Book (1988). <br> It was recorded by Dexter et al on Over the Water (1993).<br>
