This is one of my favorite tunes (and this from a guy who gnashes his teeth at most polkas!), learned off a Cherish the Ladies cd--great version there. They start out slow, as an air more or less, then crank it up and adding some brilliant 1/16 runs.
I usually play the 2nd and 6th measures of the B part as:
