X:1 T:A Tom Riley Polka C:from John W. Summers H:JWS learned this tune from Tom H:Riley, fiddler from KY. N:The figures in the first 2 halves of N:bars 1 and 2 were frequently used by N:JWS. The second note is tied to the lower N:note of the double-stop, while the upper N:note of the d-s is caught by a scooping N:down of the bow hand.
