Subject: RE: Tune Req: Waltz Clog
Jon,

Thanks for the offer, if it's not too much hassle I'd be pleased to hear a midi of 'Valse Clogue'

A bit more research confirms that there are lots of 'waltz clog' tunes. For example, The Great Canadian Tunebook has Guilmetre's Waltz Clog and Lacroix's Waltz Clog

As far as the dance is concerned I found that: [our dances]incorporate the waltz clog steps that are now part of the vernacular of traditional American tap. The Waltz Clog was originally done in clog shoes, long before taps were put on shoes.

If anyone has any info on the tunes and / or dances, I'd be interested
