Still haven't identified it, but I'm working on it.

Vivian Williams, the foremost authority on traditional fiddle tunes here in the Pacific Northwest: "I don't recognize the tune; it's sure a cute one, a very danceable polka. I wonder if "Forest Rogers" was any relation to Grant Rogers, an upstate New York fiddler who performed at some folk festivals in the 1960's." Also asked Bruce Reid who does a lot of contra dance and traditional music here: "Never heard it before...it's a good one. I'll have to try playing it; it would make a nice contra tune."

Someone from TheSession.org seemed to recognize it, but couldn't name it, "though I've suspicions this might be in one of the two Christeson collections, "Old Time Fiddler's Repertory", University of Missouri Press? It is definitely 'Old Time' where I came across this one first, played for just plain polka-ing around in one form or another but with a definite 'hop'-1-2-3..." "Two other possible sources ~ you might also check the Don Messer and Bill Guest collections."

I'm pretty busy now, but when I get time I'll check out the Christeson Collections at the U. Washington Music Library. Or if someone else has access to those, you might check also.
