Glenside Polkas set
This is the second tune of a set called "The Glenside Polkas", as I heard it about 20 years ago. The first one has been posted by Brad Maloney as "Cathy´s Favourite".
Cathy´s was played in G then ending on an A, which makes for a nice jump to the first B of this one. But they also go together when Cathy´s is played in D. Find out for yourself which you like better...
And Cathy´s might also be played in D first and then transposed to G, and played for another two or three times, before this one is tagged on. Or one might play No. 2 first and add Cathy´s in D...
Whatever, have fun, Jörg
