Harper's Frolic

In from work I only have a limited time so it's a good thing the tune of the days is easy!

English Pub Session Tunes (Dave Mallinson) - Harper's Frolic p19

I've played this on melodeon. I own one of these which I was sold by a shady man in a shop. What I really wanted was one of these so I'm slightly miffed. This doesn't excuse the fact that this is easily my worst instrument (actually on second thoughts I've just taken up the piano a few months ago so that is much worse).
You can find the dots for this fairly standard English tune in D here. The A part is slightly reminiscent to me of Iron Legs, which is a tune I absolutely love.
No recording today as I'm off to rehearsal. I thought I'd reveal all my musical projects one at a time to keep up the suspense a bit. Tonight (and every Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday until May) is Mugss night. They have a show on at the end of April called Iolanthe for which I am musical director. This involves flapping my arms about teaching the chorus the music, extracting a heavenly performance from our young and talented principals, and flapping my arms about some more in front of the orchestra during show week. Come and see the show it'll be great!
