Here is another tune taken from Evelyn's new book, posted here on the Cafe for free download (or in print from Amazon): Link This is a lively schottische written by Andy Hornby (www.andyhornby.net). The title is a pun on the Laughing Policeman. I see that Andy is a Cafe member, although last active a couple of years ago -- if you're reading this, thanks for a fun tune!

Nice.
I like it too. Wouldn't this be a nice song-a-week?
Thanks, Dennis and Frithjof. Yes, it's a real fun tune that should work well as Song-A-Week. Evelyn has just posted a recommendation for Andy Hornby's tunebook "Pheasant Feathers", and this tune in particular, on her thread linked above. Martin
I was reminded of this lovely tune when we played it at our weekly gathering last Thursday -- a very joyful tune to play. Here is a new recording on the Vinaccia (leaving out Evelyn's second mandolin harmony). 1898 Giuseppe Vinaccia mandolin Suzuki MC-815 mandocello Vintage Viaten tenor guitar Martin
