Thread Name: Tune Req: Rosbif Waltz
Subject: RE: Tune Req: Rosbif Waltz
I've just recommended this tune to another Mudcatter, gillymor, so I am refreshing the thread.

This thread began in 1998 and 3 years ago it was still getting unwrapped from it's tissue paper from the attic chest.

It's also a wonderful example of how the folk process works in sending a tune around the world and back again, and a testament to Mudcat for providing the forum so that people like Alan Day, one of the band members of the group called Rosbif, can come in and share his knowledge of the tune.

The tune is special, in my opinion, and still one of my all time favourites, so it deserves another airing before going back into the attic again.

There is a midi file posted by Alan of Australia, Date: 22 May 00 - 08:35 PM

There is ABC Notation in a couple of places in the thread, and there is a sound file of the lovely Alison playing it, posted by me on 03 Nov 04 - 01:05 AM

I'm wondering if the CD's were ever produced. Does anyone know?
