Tune of the Day: Hayden Fancy
Traditional Irish polka
This polka is also known under the titles “Johnny Box”, “Mary Ann” and “O’Connor's Polka”, but “Hayden(‘s) Fancy” appears to be the older name for the tune. The “O'Connor's” title comes from the Boys of the Lough, who recorded the tune after learning it from musician Martin O'Connor.
