Help: what is this tune I heard?

I've been listening to WKSU's new FolkStream, a 24-hr streaming folk music program hosted by Jim Blum, who has hosted their folk music show for some years. (It's available on wksu.org.)Today I heard a gorgeous simple waltz on fiddle and guitar, and I'm trying to find out what it was, since they don't post a playlist. I got a phone call just as Jim was back-announcing the song names including that one, so I missed it. Funny thing, I first heard it last week, and the exact same thing happened: phone call, and I missed the announcement!

I went to the Mudcat ABC page, and here is my attempt to render the first phrase (all I can remember for sure) in ABC notation. I'll try it with and without guitar chords. Anybody recognize it? Thanks much.

Aloha,
Mark

I listened and have no clue. Just didn't want you to feel ignored.

Hi Mark,

I tried to get this ABC tune to play properly but the tune which came out was a bit hard to decipher. Did you ever find out what it was?

It seemed vaguely familiar, reminded me a bit of a Strauss waltz in fact, but couldn't get enough of a feel for it to get any further than that.
