PRETTY DICK. Scottish, Polka (2/4 time). F Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABBC. The tune was composed by biography:W.B. Laybourn, who edited the three-volume Köhler’s Violin Repository (1881-1885). Laybourn identified himself in the publications only as "A Professional Player," but did assign his name to his own compositions and several arrangements of dance tunes.
