OK Heidi - so that glittering stud on your ear was really a wireless mic, and the secret recorder was in your purse? Well, I never! 

LOL  Yes, it's all very James Bond, you know. My super secret spy recording device.

does anyone have a name for the tune in Friday Aft.1 ?

I think it's the Norwegian Polka. Another one of Bill's tunes (Bill being the big bearded fella with glasses).

Thanks Woody.  I liked several of Bills tunes from what I remember.

What I meant to say was Norwegian Hornpipe

I found something on JC's called Bergen Polka (Norway) which is similar

[woody]

It's pretty close.....now I'm confussed. Hornpipe....Polka....

Woody

[gillbilly]

Still like the tune just the same   

(& I found the JC's thing from your info eitherway...thanks)

I don't know the tune, but it sounds like a hornpipified (technical term) version of that polka alright.

Just to confuse things further, I found the Norwegian Polka on JC's as well. Another tune I don't know, but I've definitely heard Shetland Bill play it.

Thanks, Heidi, for the recordings!  I've shared them with a new fiddler...to let her know that FiddleForum has a Fiddle Hell and get her interest peaked to find out more.
Can imagine everybody enjoying themselves at the pub.  Really enjoyed all 3 recordings.
BTW - Anybody who can survive a week at a time with a bunch of 5 year olds deserves all the vacation they can take!  Have fun!!!!
