Dick Tobin’s Polka

Transcribed from Chulrua’s album ‘Barefoot On the Altar’ (1999). Comes between

Mike Coogan’s https://thesession.org/tunes/5789
and
The High Point Polka https://thesession.org/tunes/1841/

That B-part is very familiar. Has anyone laid claim to composing this one Nigel? Is there any other history behind it?
