Kath, I have plenty of experience backing up waltzes on guitar and occasionally on banjo, lute or autoharp, and last year Gutbucketeer provided a wonderful bottom to the mix. As I mentioned above, what I am planning to do is create a notebook of sheet music for the above mentioned waltzes and if you would bring about 8-10 copies of the waltzes you have mentioned above, we will have a jam before we are scheduled to do the class, and rapidly work out the ones that sound the best. We may have some wind instruments or a hammered dulcimer or harp that would care to join in, and so we will work it all out, before the actual class.

As Rita has mentioned, I will do a series of announcements to promote the waltz and contra workshops, and if the fiddlers are happy, the rest of us will be too.
