“Dan Coakley’s Polka” ~ played in A, D & G

But just two keys given here, D & G. You’ll also find a G take on this on in the Matt Cranitch books and on the accompanying recordings, the same musicians and the same take:

"Matt Cranitch & Friends: Take a Bow"
One of the accompanying recordings for "The Irish Fiddle Book", page 141 or 145, tune #42

track 11: polkas ~ 3rd of 3

"Matt Cranitch & Friends: Ceolta Seisiún Na HÉireann / Irish Session Tunes: The Red Book"
https://thesession.org/recordings/4137
track 15: polka ~ 1 of 1
