Oooo, yes, Susan, Tim and Melinda's (3 month and 17 day) anniversary waltz! Sure wanna learn to play that one. Just danced to the fabulous Pig's Eye Landing last Saturday night. And I like the Valse des Jeunes Filles too, and Planxty Fanny Powers, yes, yes, yes. Also Life in the Finnish Woods, a Swedish waltz I can barely play. And then there's Berceuse Pour Hannah, which Quebecois band Domino recorded. But my current favorite is She Left a Star (composed by Sarah Bauhan)--it's on Nat Hewitt's CD. It may be because it's the first tune I ever learned entirely by ear off a recording, but playing it makes me almost as happy as listening to Nat play it, which I'm doing right now as I type. Mmmmm. Smooth.
