Introducing the Polka, Shoe the Donkey (Glenside Polka) for Low and High D Whistles

In this video I introduce the polka, Shoe the Donkey (Glenside). This is a great tune that works well for beginners but is also popular enough we should all know it. I introduce the core of the tune. We talk about any difficulties, ornaments and expression, and the history of the tune.

Please join me as we learn this great tune on our tin whistles.
