great playing Sharon, as it happens that is the tune my local rugby league team are known by, its played when they come onto the pitch.
Ripton, I have tried to listen to your tune but it will not load, dont know if its the size of the file.

@Ripton - NICE! Got me in the mood to add mine, too.
And @SharonC, as always great performance of When the Saints Go Marching In!
Here is my contribution, not as technically as proficient as other tunes in the thread, but it was fun to try out La danse de Mardi Gras with improvisation.
The old curmudgeon!
