BARE NECESSITIES. English, Waltz. D Dorian. Standard tuning. AB. Composed in 1974 by the English collector, composer and long-time EFDSS champion Pat Shaw (1917-1977). The melody was written for Gladys and Joe Muschamp of Bare, Cheshire, who ran a hardware shop. Shaw suggested the name "Bare Necessities" to them for the enterprise, which they readily accepted.
