Needed a passing jig

I wrote this little jig to go between Tripping Up the Stairs and Coming Back Up the Stairs. I thought it would be funny to give it an appropriate name for the set, hence, Sliding Down the Bannister. The last two notes should be played with a gliss. I didn't know how to notate that in ABC.
So now our group has a nice little "stairs" set.

Shouldn't the C in the fourth bar be an octave higher?

C problem

Yes the "C" in the 4th measure should be up an octave. My Bad.
