G'day John,

I was just curious to know what version was played locally in Queensland. Down this way you will only hear it as a waltz.

I know that I have the original('Claribel") version in at least three books - if I look hard. I made a point of collecting them at one point to show my disbelieving fiddler friend that the tune was not originally a waltz, as he stoutly maintained.

Regards,

Bob Bolton
