Very interesting…tell me more!

Lovely polka, where did you dig this one up? Is it an old tune? A new tune? Did you compose it? Vee need zee infolmashun!

Hi Jay,
There’s a trad tune by the same title recorded by the Newfoundland band Buddy Wasisname and the Other Fellers. No idea if it’s the same tune, but the one here has a kind of Newfoundland flavor, I think.

Ladies In The Center, X:3

From the playing of Vince & Glen Collins.

Up The Woodpile, X:4

From the playing of The Bay Boys.

Listed as "Traditional" on their 1992 album "Where Did Yesterday Go".
