The Clap Dance / 69th St. Polkas
Adapted from the Lifescapes Celtic Fiddle CD, track #14
(http://www.thesession.org/recordings/display/203)
The Clap Dance is also known as the Rattlin' Bog and the Sixty-Ninth Street Polka is also known as The Galway Belle or Tom McVicar's. Very session-friendly tunes in D and E Dorian, respectively. When strung together with "Britches Full of Stitches" in A, you have a pretty darn good polka set. If someone did the gypsy tamborine thing on 69th St., it would be soooooo cool...
My timing on this tune leaves room for improvement, but as with the other recordings, it is a quick mark on the wall before racing off to class. :)
