Brudpolska efter Tulpans Anders

  This tune is a “bridal polska” after a fiddler from Alfta, in Hälsingland.  Tulpans Anders was born in 1848.  His given name was Anders Olsson, but he was called Tulpans Anders because the farm his family owned for many generations was called Tulpansgården.

He learned this tune from another fiddler when quite young, and played it in 1868 at his brother’s wedding.
