Mo the caller - Waterfall Waltz - with two tunes in the Barnes book - Caerdroea as the first tune and Flowers of the Thorn as the second, is how I came to play it. For a dance, we sometimes switch between the two, but our pianist loves Flowers of the Thorn, and we're more likely to play that for an end of the evening waltz- as we will Friday night. The first tune is one *I* love, and loved to dance to when I was able to dance. It was the very first tune I figured out how to play when I had my hands on my first (borrowed) concertina. Is the first one the tune Pat Shaw composed? It's not listed that way in Barnes, and he's good about credit-where-due stuff. If there's a third tune, I'd love to know that.

This thread is making me greedy for more tunes. Leenia's other thread tracing Charlene Thomson for her compositions also fascinating. Hope something comes of that. If you can't PM me on Mudcat, I use the same handle on aol as here, so that should give you my email address w/out giving it to spambots. I love the idea of being the one to bring a dance & tune to our community for the first time & am willing to share what we have here that might be unknown elsewhere.

Waltz on!
