B Flat Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB'. A fairly widespread schottische melody under a variety of titles, although best known in the United States as "Rustic Dance" or similar sounding titles. Indiana fiddler John Summers played this tune by this name, as did Nebraska fiddler Bob Walters and even North Carolina old-time fiddler Tommy Farrell. "Evening Pleasures" also was recorded by English concertina player Alexander Prince.  Source for notated version: Tony Gilmore (Mo.) [Phillips].
