I´ve told Johannes, the HG-player to add himself to the list so he will probably present himself soon... The tune is as Simon say´s... a slängpolska from southern Sweden, "after" Petter dufva, as we say in Sweden... Concerning the tempo I can only say that the guy´s just seventeen and, when I really try to think about it (it was so long ago), I remember it was very easy to speed tunes in that age (the slängpolska goes really fast too)... I´ll take it up with Johannes when he has his next lesson ;-) Göran Hallmarken
