Help!! I have been searching in vain for sheet music or ABC notation for a tune entitled - I believe - Old South Waltz or The Old South Waltz. My research leads me to believe that it could possibly originally have been called Grace Waltz or Beth's Waltz. Believe it is a fiddle tune from Southern U. S. A. Perhaps Sorcha or some fiddlers know and play this waltz. All help and comments appreciated.
Jim

Sheet music available from sheet music sales companies. No freebies found.

Fiddler's Companion notes that another name is 'Old Southern Waltz' but gives no playable notes. The closest I could get was Johann Strauss 'Roses from the south waltz'.

No luck at JC's ABC TuneFinder for any of the name variants.

Regards, John
