Anyboty know what key "Hunt the Squirrel" is in?

[stringalong]

I played Hunt the Squirrel for the Freedom Train, at a US Bicentennial celebration in 1976. I can't remember what key it's in...anyone know this tune? (Typo on Anybody....I can't find out how to edit the title....sorry!)

Except G flat Major. No one should every play anything in G flat Major

Of course not, when F# Major is so easy instead.

This attitude, though, is why it is so hard to find a good Chopin mandolin arrangement

E## is the way to go. Otherwise it's impossible

Any key you like it seems, the band I play it with most play it in D and Em (D * 2, Em * 1, D *1), I have played it in G and I think A elsewhere.

I heard yesterday that Irving Berlin only ever composed in F#.

Not quite. He could only play in one key, and had a piano made that could transpose to anything. So yes, then...
