Introducing the Polka As I Went Out Upon the Ice for Low and High D Whistles

I introduce the polka, As I Went Out Upon the Ice in our time together. This is a fun polka to play. I walk us through the A and B parts, play through the core of the tune at a steady pace, share my thoughts on any challenges we may experience learning the tune, provide a few ornamentation and expression ideas, and briefly share the history of the tune.
