Known Around Dallas

I asked the name of this tune several times at sessions before. It was about time I did somthing about. I enjoy the piece - that's about all I can add.

Perhaps I should let in a few more details.

Folk very commonly change all those quarter notes to triplets and the Dotted quarters to rolls. The choices are all your's but it sounds much nicer if you articulate it a little. I suggested in the first measure how I thought the rest of the A part should go.

Yes, Darach de Brun - and there's another one of his ('The Maple Leaf', I think - no connection with Scott Joplin's tune of the same name), which goes nicely after this one.
