I learned to back up a friend on a gorgeous tune a few years ago. He called it The Nine Years' Waltz, and he said it was a Norman Blake tune. Now I've lost touch with my pal and I want to learn the melody. I don't find a tune by this name ANYWHERE. Got any clues?

Don't know if it's what you're looking for, but the title reminds me of a song called "Waltxing's For Dreamers" by Four Men and a Dog.

The chorus is something like:

One step's for aching, two steps for breaking, Watzing's for dreamers and the losers in love. One step for sighing two steps for crying, watzing's for dreamers etc.

Any use?

Thanks, Valerie. I've heard that tune by Four Men and a Dog, and it's lovely, but it's not the one I'm thinking of.

For proper attribution's sake, "Waltzing's for Dreamers" was written by Richard Thompson; I'll check our Norman Blake collection to see if anything there rings a bell for Nine Year's Waltz...

Thanks for clarifying Waltzing's for Dreamers authorship.

Any luck with the Blake collection?
