    You're right, that one is sticky. Very recognizable, too. Extra credits for the stomping!

    Very enjoyable. Loved the tempo. Great triplets. Nice smile at 52 seconds. I've printed this one and put it in my "Working On" binder. Thanks for sharing.

    Still as sticky as it was 7 years ago. Triplets galore!

    Oh, that’s no torture to me. It’s pure remedy!
    And the jig goes directly on my to-do list.

    I enjoyed that too. It goes on my list that is also longer than it should be.
