The Nature of it
I came up with this tune while driving up to Bellingham, WA one day, steering with my knees. The faster I played the tune, the faster I drove. I'm not sure about the key signature or whether it's a reel - could be an off the wall polka. It has travelled to the West of Ireland and upstate New York. Play the A & B parts simultaneously for a little dust up.

Good thing you don't play accordion
Scary story!
Is there a reason for the name?

The Name
My brother Joel (concertina) and his roomate Kelly (fiddle) were the first folks I ran into and we sat on their porch and played the tune.

Tempo is brisk
The third part was thrown in as an alternative for fiddlers. The tune is played very briskly. Ornaments & triplets & the fun stuff have been left out of the ABC.
