A tune with a few names -

1. 'Seneca Square Dance' on Ry Cooder's 'Long Riders' album.

2. 'Georgia Boys' by John Hartford on an athology album whose name escapes me.

Also a Fiddler's version in the Aly Bain book under 'Waitin for the Fedrerals'

I believe there's an Irish polka set to the same tune.

I have the Aly Bain book/tape version (a smashing gift for any tune player including yourself)--easy to read notation and a tape with Aly playing all fifty tunes--cost me $20 Canadian!

I agree that's a wonderful tune--simple yet pleasing and evocative.

So which Federals are being waited for?

John Hoban's Polka?

I can't resist...

It's the 'Georgia Boys' 'Waitin for the Federals' at the 'Seneca Square Dance' while doing the 'John Hoban Polka'...
