Good Times Polka©
This tune started out as a test piece to play while repairing an accordion, and ended up being a favorite to those who know it. Chromatic grace notes couple with staccato quarter notes to build four-fingered chords. The middle smoothes out much like a Grand March, then returns to the top and out. Whether you're checking for compression, or playin' up a storm, this one's a keeper! |

Polka Thyme©
Which came first, the polka or the pen? In this case triplets and eighth note arpeggios fit the right hand so nicely, it was like "doin' what comes naturally." A favorite to those who have heard it. |
