CYMRO O B'LE? (A Welshman from where?). AKA - "Cymro'blee," "Welshman from Wens," "Welch Question (The)." Welsh, Jig (6/8 time). F Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Researcher Paul Cooper finds the country dance figures for this tune among the dances printed on a 'country dance fan' c. 1791-92, a fad for a time in which country dance figures were printed on women's accessory fans, as a kind of memory aid or reminder of fashionable or favorite dances^[1].
