? ~ Unknown tune in my head ~ was doing some mindless doodling with my bamboo flute when this tune kinda came out of my head. I know somewhere I've heard it but can't remember where. It might possibly be a common contradance tune, but I really haven't a clue and couldn't find it with searches. Anyone know it?

(pardon my abc's, I'm not used to writing them.)
