Hi, folks; I haven't been around as much as I'd like because of the heavy load of classes; right now, the only thing keeping me going through finals is my bluegrass playlist on xmms. So there's this song, "The Waltz You Saved For Me," which is done very nicely by a group called The Back Porch Band, that keeps on coming around, and getting stuck in my head. Which is all very well and good, but unless I set the bond structure of the carbon atom to it, it's not very useful (hmm, there's an idea...). I've tried a couple of (not-very-intensive) searches on it; found dance cues for it, too, but no words. Are there any? Otherwise I'll just have to go around solfedging it.
Thanks,

Chocolate Pi

Do you need the music? I found it at a MIDI site, and could abc it if you need it and can read/translate abc.

ooh, thank you all! Here's the version I've been listening to: blue clicky.
Only two more exams (and a paper) to go!
And I get home just in time for the MIT second-Tuesday contra dance!

"The Waltz You Saved For Me" was written by Wayne King---the bandleader known as The Waltz King. He was from the town of Savanna, Illinois--on the Mississippi River. (I had to tell passengers all about him when we'd go past Savanna when I was the folksinger on the steamboat Julia Belle Swain.(circa 1980s and '90s)
