With Kevin our melodeon player away on a short holiday, fiddle player Robin and myself recorded another eight sets of tunes this week.
This is a Finnish tune called Kauan Odotettu which translates as "Long Awaited" and is a tune Robin learnt on a visit to Finland.

![Guitar: Do Wah Diddy Diddy (Including lyrics and chords)
Having uploaded The Mighty Quinn a couple of days ago, I am uploading another Manfred Mann song today with Do Wah Diddiy Diddy.
Wikipedia has the following information about this song:
Do Wah Diddy Diddy is a song written by Jeff Barry and Ellie Greenwich and originally recorded in 1963, as Do-Wah-Diddy, by the American vocal group the Exciters. Cash Box described the Exciters version as a sparkling rocker that bubbles over with coin-catching enthusiasm and said that the great lead job is backed by a fabulous instrumental arrangement.[5] It was made internationally famous by the British band Manfred Mann and covered by Fun Factory in 1995.
I performed this one as my second offering at the monthly sing-around at the sheltered accommodation at which I live and have been organizing such events for fourteen years now. Guitar: Do Wah Diddy Diddy (Including lyrics and chords)](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/q8EITfo7ydc/mqdefault.jpg)
