Regarding "Sailor's Hornpipe"

#1

So lately I’ve been working on “Sailor’s Hornpipe,” (but not with the dedication I should be). It’s fun, it’s melodic & it’s fun.

While doing hornpipe rabbit holes, I came across this dancing sailor, from Sweden in 1915. Reading the comments I discovered the history of this happy little tune.
Dancing the Sailor’s Hornpipe is a real workout, and for a great reason!

With such tricky steps does this mean we can expect an update on your dance video @BanJoe

I was a much younger man then! :grin:
Any update would involve a lot of slowing down.
