BON TON [1]. English, Country Dance Tune (2/4 time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. "Bon Ton" was entered into a few musicians' manuscript collections on both sides of the Atlantic. It can be found in the mid-19th century music manuscript of William Winter (1774-1861), a shoemaker and violin player who lived in West Bagborough in Somerset, southwest England. Seabrook, N.H., musician and dancer Jeremiah Brown also entered it in his 1780's music and dance manuscript collection.
