Thread Name: Can you name this tune?
Subject: Can you name this tune?
I'm wondering if anyone can name this tune. I learned it by ear at various tunes sessions in Manchester UK quite a few years ago and don't think I ever knew it's name. I find it makes a nice guitar solo and I'd like to be able to name it properly and know something of it's origins.
The ABC as I remember it is;
X:
T: Session Waltz
C: unknown
M: 3/4
L: 1/16
Q: 150
K: Am

I've named it provisionally as Session Waltz because it's a waltz and I learned it at sessions but I'm sure it has a proper name.
The nicest looking ABC convertor I've found is this
blue clicky
Copy and paste the file into the convertor to see the notation.
The old fasioned URL is
http://www.clivew.com/abc.php
if you want to save it. I can't get the midi to play but maybe others will have better luck.
I think it might have eastern European origins. Does anyone know it?
