G'day again Bob

I have two recordings of this song one by Dave Goulder & Liz Dyer and the other by The Ripley Wayfarers. As you can imagine I have been listening to both of them to see if you are right. "The Waltz Silvania" that I had is as you say "The Varsovienne". So thanks for that. The other "The Waltz at Cassion" actually sounds like "The Waltz Surcassion" or "The Waltz Zurgassion" if that means anything to you. It doesn't sound anything like your "Waltz Cotillion" unfortunately. The song itself sounds like a Polka to me but then I'm no judge. Both records state that it is "traditional" so you are right about that too.

Regards

John
