Black Silk Slip, The

Polka · 2/4 · D major

The polka known as The Black Silk Slip is a contemporary traditional-style tune composed by the button accordionist Terence Winch. Set in D major with a brisk 2/4 meter, it features the lively, driving rhythm typical of Irish-American dance music. Winch, a prominent figure in the Washington, D.C. Irish music scene, included this composition in his repertoire as a notable modern addition to the traditional polka canon.
