A long-distance collaboration with my friends Bene and Jeannette who sent me a recording of them 'minus banjo' as they called it, of this Canadian French/English song, and which I gladly completed. It was a 1964 hit by Lucille Starr, who died three weeks ago.

Tunaday #369 - In D variant tuning (aDACD).

Rose for Polly is a pretty, 3-part song in a minor key. Perhaps it makes for a good love story -- a hopeful suitor gives her a rose, she responds sweetly, but with a bit of reservation, though continuing to offer hope.

Played and produced by Volker Fischer. Copyright 1992.
