  • Any idea what the name of that first tune is? Can't believe I've never heard of it!

  • @TheBowarm The first tune is known as "Off she goes" It's played in a another square dancing video I've uploaded, though not to be confused with the Irish tune "off she goes", same name however both are very different tunes.
