Tune of the Day: Holiday Fancy
Traditional Irish tune
This (apparently arbitrarily named) polka is taken from Francis O'Neill's Waifs and Strays of Gaelic Melody, published in Chicago in 1922.
This spirited tune was found among the [Chicago Police Sergeant James] O'Neill manuscript but without a title. With a view to its identification in the Index we have named it.
