Does anyone know if the melody was original with Stan? When my wife first heard it, she commented that it was a pretty enough waltz to be worth playing as an instrumental.
As far as I know, most of Stan's melodies are original, although "Watching the Apples Grow" is "Cherokee Shuffle." There may be other appropriations that I didn't notice.
