The Ninety-Nine March

Composed by Randal Bays and played on his CD "Salmon’s Leap." It was inspired by the Dec. 7th, 1999 march in Seattle to protest the World Trade Organization meeting. It makes a nice set with The Ninety-Eight March (posted earlier).

There’s a video of Randall playing this (along with the 98 March) with Tony McManus on Youtube here:

This is the correct link. Excellent. These are two of my favorite tunes. Now I need to learn to play them.

Ninety-Nine March

Catchy tune. Think everyone plays d in measure 4 instead of B. Seems more like a polka to me.
