My brain told me to write a traditional dance tune in 3/4, not quite a waltz more like a Polska (Polonaise for you posh people who attend parties at the French court :)). I imagined a dance in a village hall in Poland/Nordic countries where the vodka was flowing. What emerged was something more in a 6/8 time, where if you dance really slowly the 2 6/8 bars become a 2 step more akin to a Polka or Minuet. The Polka travelled to Ireland and became embedded in their traditional music so I threw in an Irish Bodhran to carry the rhythm. I had no idea what I was doing or what I've created but if you have a listen it will give you a jolly 1 minute and 15 seconds :)
