I think you'll enjoy it. dance When I first saw the music, I thought, "What is this mess?" Then, as usual, I found it on the Internet, heard it being played by good musicians, and decided it makes sense after all. Have a listen. It's a good tune, and I love watching the accordionist. How I wish I could play like that! And she's so beautiful, too. |

It's not a dance tune as such - i.e. not written for dancing - just a little but of catchy fun. |
