Lilly Polka

I always liked this one.  Seems like it sounds best at speed slower than an actual polka.....although, maybe this is fast enough to polka and I like this speed.

Al, you and Tim do a really nice fiddle / banjo version of this one. I've been working on it, but I can't get those harp chords to sound good.

Very pretty indeed!

When tunes have such pretty chords in them, I always feel it's a shame to rush through them- the chords are like little flowers that each need their moment in time to unfold and be fully appreciated.

Paul, it would sound good with banjo and flute!

I was thinking the same thing Al!

True - that's one reason I find Buckley's "Spanish Dance" so appealing.

Yes, and you and Vida did a wonderful job on it!
