A straight playing of it.  I'll likely post a swingier one in a bit.

SåglåTen (The Saw Tune)

Written by Anders Norudde of Hedningarna, who was Anders Stake at the time.

The transcription is from Aryeh Frankfurter, and I think he wrote the viola line himself. Aryeh's version is what folks at Lark and around here play, probably because we learned it from him.

Holland

This came to me via a woodwind player in England.  It is a trad tune from the Netherlands.  Sounds like a schottische to me.

La Basura

A waltz we got form the Steegers.  Learned at the old 'trash bistro' in back of the Camp1 kitchen.  Said to be a Galician tune from a manuscript in the UC Santa Cruz library.

Transcription by Malaika.  I feel that the first note in the D part should not be a rest, but a G an octave below the second note.
