That's all I've done so far.  It's pretty easy except for the signature
syncopated base line, which must be played with the thumb.  If you're
not used to rolling your base, like Arthur Blake, you might find that
part needs practice.  You'll notice that I put the syncopated base in
measure 2 (and 6).  It should be there, and it's not to hard because
the melody isn't doing much in measures 2 and 6, but just alternate
the base at first if you have trouble.  I hope somebody enjoys this
piece.  Oddly, it's one of the few tunes I play that my 2 year old daughter
will dance to.
