Bluebell Polka

I was so uncertain of the correct speed for this polka, but I finally came across a clip of Sir Jimmy Shand playing and I echo his tempo. There is something about camera's - without the camera 'on', I can play this relatively well, but with the camera recording !, this was the 6th attempt!! and I STILL messed up near the end. Not a good recording as this was a straight recording via my little Cannon digital camera, so the dynamics are not picked up - sorry. (But oh boy does it pick up the errors!)

I'm old enough to remember Jimmy Shand playing this on radio. Lovely playing.

This is one of my favourite tunes that I'm having a go at myself. Really well played Mike, I especially like all the little embellishments you add to it :)

[Delmontedel]

Thank you for your kind comment! I like the way you call them embelishments - I call the MISTAKES ha ha!!.

Take care,

Mike

This is the tempo that works best for this song. If Played too fast and you can't dance, and it loses the bouncy fun character. Well done.
