Thread Name: What about your favourite waltz then?
Subject: RE: What about your favourite waltz then?
Oooo, yes, Susan, Tim and Melinda's (3 month and 17 day) anniversary waltz! Sure wanna learn to play that one. Just danced to the fabulous Pig's Eye Landing last Saturday night.

And I like the Valse des Jeunes Filles too, and Planxty Fanny Powers, yes, yes, yes. Also Life in the Finnish Woods, a Swedish waltz I can barely play. And then there's Berceuse Pour Hannah, which Quebecois band Domino recorded. But my current favorite is She Left a Star (composed by Sarah Bauhan)--it's on Nat Hewitt's CD. It may be because it's the first tune I ever learned entirely by ear off a recording, but playing it makes me almost as happy as listening to Nat play it, which I'm doing right now as I type. Mmmmm. Smooth.
