Hello all and happy 2012. I've decided to try something new this year and set up a goal list of songs that I want to learn.

I'm going to put 12 songs on a list and try to learn one a month but I need help choosing the 12. I'd like to learn 3 waltzes, 3 polkas, 3 two steps, and 3 swingy one-steps (like the Une Grosse Erreur that Jamey had in the project last year).

I've got a few ideas for the waltzes and two steps, but I need help with ideas for the polkas and swings. Any ideas out there? Anyone want to join in with their own list?

GREAT idea, Ehren! I'll try to cook some up for myself, and make some suggestions for yours,too. Right off the bat for swingy, I would suggest "Blues de Dix Ans" and "Le 'tit negre de Tante Dolice". "Black Top Blues" and "Hathaway 2Step" are good,too.

Hathaway 2 Step is going on there for sure. I love me some Octa Clark so Black Top Blues probably as well. Thanks for the suggestions! I'll probably have a list in the next week so I can get started.

Octa has a couple good polka-type tunes, too, I theeenk.

Yes, but I can't find it...I've found New Iberia and Joe's but nothing else. I think Greg posted a while back on this and I wonder if he or anyone found anything else? Anybody have a copy of that Octa Clark & Hector Duhon polka?
