Happy one step
This tune is actually a Cajun one step but I had to choose a hornpipe tempo because there is any Cajun one step options. Sharon Shannon seems to like this one. Even before I listen to ITM I knew this tune because it was on a advert on TV.

Sharon Shannon's "Blackbird" set ( Padraig O'Keefe's slide followed by the Happy One Step) is one big reason why I wanted to learn how to play the button accordion.

Happy one step
I know its a really sweet tune. Everybody seem to like it. Pretty hard on the banjo though.

I know it as Willafjord. I think. I might be getting confused with another tune.
