That's all I've done so far. It's pretty easy except for the signature

syncopated base line, which must be played with the thumb. If you're

not used to rolling your base, like Arthur Blake, you might find that

part needs practice. You'll notice that I put the syncopated base in

measure 2 (and 6). It should be there, and it's not to hard because

the melody isn't doing much in measures 2 and 6, but just alternate

the base at first if you have trouble. I hope somebody enjoys this

piece. Oddly, it's one of the few tunes I play that my 2 year old daughter

will dance to.
