Herbie Smith's Four-Hand Reel
An English tune.
I learnt this one from a box player in Cheltenham (England), about 25 years ago.
Perhaps useful at a barn dance, but not much use for playing at a session. So why am I posting it here?
Set it with Winster Gallop, and it makes up an absolutely ideal tuneset for beginners.

If you find Winster Gallop a bit daggy (as if?), you can preceed it with The Sloe
