X:13 T:Elma's Two Step % NFF Book 2016 S:collected from Elma Ross and the Wedderburn Oldtimers S:collected by Peter Ellis N:a variation of the Old Timers Two Step, this version good for the Galopede N:c.f.The Oldtimers Twostep B:"The Waltz, the Polka and All Kinds of Dance Music", p170, Peter Ellis, 2007 O:Australia, Vic, Wedderburn N:Hi Ray and Dave, N:You may recall the attached Adelaide Race Dance in Trad & Now in 2010. I think N:it is a great dance and it provides the use of galop tunes which have tended to N:miss out in the Australian tradition. Part of the problem was the dance (Galop) N:itself had ceased to be popular by the first decade of the 20thC so had disappeared N:before aural tunes had survived for the collector's. The Two Steps which derived N:from the Galop did survive, but the Collectors ignored them because of an association N:with the modern Foxtrot or Quickstep. N: N:I've assemble some really good galop tunes from old tune books, mainly a series N:called "Daisy's" which was piano dance music for children. Daisy Sutton of Wedderburn N:co-incidentally had some of them. It is possible some of these could have moved into N:the aural tradition, although they have either not been found or recognised and linked N:to these. N: N:Thought I could do Adelaide Race Day next year at Bundanoon, or possibly even this N:year (2013) at Goulburn. Also, the Oldtimers Two Step is in galop style and a 40 bar tune, N:I've adjusted the dance to 40 bars to include a swing which the original dance didn't N:have, yet I feel a dance such as this would have had a swing, had it been in the aural tradition. N: N:See what you think, more tunes on the way, in batches because of the MB. Peter. N: N:They are all 40 bar tunes to suit my adaptation of the dance, if for any reason you wanted 32 bar N:tunes, leave the first line out, that is a tag I put in using the main strain of a verse. So the N:remaining 4 lines are the main tune section. N: N:Oldtimers Two Step is a natural 40 bar collected tune from the playing of three of the N:Oldtimers, Daisy Sutton, Jack Condon and Lionel Collison. This is the tune version known in N:"the bush", that is districts around Wedderburn. However if you needed a 32 bar version then N:Elma Ross's is the one to use, obviously same tune and in fact Elma's coincides with a tune from N:Jean Murphy of Mitta Mitta, except she has a second part in Eb. Elma's is a great tune for Galopede N:Country Dance (also known as La Galopede) and could be used for any "set tune" such as in Lancers or N:Alberts, as well as of course for the Two Step.
