Thread Name: Tune Req: Kate Martin's Waltz (Blair Douglas)
Subject: Kate Martin's Waltz - Blair Douglas
I've got a sketchy handwritten score of this tune, which is a real cracker, done by the impossibly handsome Sandy Brechin, accordion wizard and thoroughly bloody nice bloke, but I don't read too well, and it's got lots of tadpoles I don't understand the length of.

Sandy told me that it was written for the Post Office lady on some far flung Scottish Isle, who dished out the dole to the hapless composer, Blair Douglas, allegedly!

Anyone got any leads on this one?
