My wife and I both had Dads called Arthur. That's coincidence enough for me to name a tune after them. This is 'The Two Arthurs'.

I love it! Can I get the sheet music or abc so we can play it as a couples' waltz at English Country Dance?

For Leeneia and anyone else that would like to have a go at this tune, here is a copy of the sheet music. I've tried to notate it as closely as I can to the way I play it but feel free to make your own interpretation.

Thank you for the sheet music. I'll try it on the piano.

If you do use it with your Country Dance group Leeneia, would you be mind sending me a simple recording (eg, cell phone, video if possible) please? I'm interested to hear how people play my tunes. I've only got one example so far of a group in Vermont playing one of my hornpipes.

If we do, I'll talk to my bandmates. They probably know how.
