"Little Diamond Polka" was recorded by James "The Professor" Morrison back in the 78rpm era. I learned it off Hannah Harris’s album "Tea For Tunes”. https://youtu.be/Owus9t6lAYU

I think I posted this one once before on flute, but it's one of my favorite slides, and here I'm celebrating getting it worked out on box. This is "Across the Road”, which I got from a 1949 recording of Paddy Cronin. He played it in Am (and that's how I've normally played it on flute) but here I've transposed it to Em because that key fits the C#/D box better.

Got so busy practicing Mrs Belle's Evens -- https://nltrad.ca/tune_sets/59 -- that I forgot to feed the dogs.

Still not at my best a week later, but I can more or less pound out this single, which I originally got from the playing of Graham Wells, Colin Carrigan, & Jason Whelan on the album "Island to Island". Usually it's called "Fogo Island Mussels", as it's a version of "Mussels in the Corner" from Fogo Island.

I'm a bit under the weather today, so here's Aaron Collis and Emilia Bartellas playing three Newfoundland accordion tunes:
"Form A Line" (collected from Mrs Belle Fennelly)
"Green Grow the Rushes-O" (collected from Minnie White)
"Flowers of Edinburgh" (collected from Brendan Newman)

I don't know a proper name for this tune, but it's the first tune in Frank Maher's "Running the Goat" set.
