Here's a little follow up to last weeks song I learned: Kerry Polka. It's meant to be played quite fast, I am feeling comfortable with a slow speed so I am attempting to play it closer to the actual speed.

I have found that it's difficult to start quickly and I can manage a little better if I start slow and speed up. Also stomping with my foot seems to help keep the tempo better so I wore some SHOES and banged on the floor so I hope the people downstairs don't hate me too much >-<

You can see take 1 here if you like.

Here is take 2:

I'm getting a bit sick of this song so I'll probably keep it in my practice rotation for another week then retire it for a bit :p

Very nice, I almost allemande Left, but
I didn't want to be racist. I got a super
idea for your rotation, it's a classic!

I can't read music I will have to see if I can find a tutorial :D

Ahh, I never learned to read music well, either.
I think I tried converting the songs into numbers,
some people do that, and others play by ear. Must
be, that there's more than one way to go about it.
It's weird that they even call it reading music if you
think about it. Notes don't bother to form words. : -)

Not bad! Good luck with Polka and speed)
