A tune I composed for a very old friend who used to work as a secretary for one of Scotlands leading variety agents John Worth. She asked me if I could compose a waltz for her, so here's the finished result. All the pictures feature castles close to Inverness. I've played at a couple of them many moons ago.

RealTracks in song: ~2050:Piano, Acoustic, Solo-Accompaniment CountryWaltzJohn Sw 140
RealTracks in song: 1298:Pedal Steel, Rhythm CountryWaltz Sw 140

Pat Fergusons' waltz

A nice little waltz...
Well done...
I enjoyed the castles...
I wonder if the owners said "wanna see my house?" wink ...
Your song also reminded me of one I've had to play in one too many honky tonks near closing time...
Westphalia Waltz...

Thanks Jim, I know the Westphalia. Can't remember if I've recorded it or not, but it's a cracking tune

Lovely tune! I can see myself waltzing with my wife to this. Once again, your accordion playing is exquisite. BTW, I am still waiting for The Outlander book from the local library. It is still checked out.

Hi Graham, this was wonderful! Excellent mixdown on all of this and the instruments are layered nicely. Really enjoyed the movement of the piano with the rest of the instruments. Nice work!

Very nice work Graham! Nice touch on that instrument! You have an endless supply of beautiful scenery to draw from in your country for those videos! Thanks, Torrey

I'm just jumping in on some of the new tunes...

This is pretty nice. I could see this playing as underscore in a movie scene on a french cafe' street scene with two lovers walking down the street....

Yep... pretty nice work on this tune.

Hi Graham,

This is a fine listen. I love the chord progression that you've used. It really captures that yesteryear modern waltz sound so very, very well. And your melody is so well crafted. I really enjoyed this.

All the best,
Noel
