Yeah, [Willie Brown] could make up verses pretty good. Yeah, 'cause he'd start on one thing he'd let near about every word be pertaining to what he pronounced what he was going to play about. That's the difference in him and Charley [Patton]... Charley, he could start singing of the shoe there and wind up singing about that banana - Son House, interview with Stefan Grossman

Hi all,
"Henry Lee" and "One Cold December Day", both recorded by Dick Justice, are both in 3/4.
All best,

Furry Lewis' The Bugle Song is in 3/4:



Cheers

Pan

Edited to add: I guess this is the same song as "Bugle Waltz", which we already have listed?

Hi all,
Rev. Edward W. Clayborn's hymn, "Death Is Only A Dream", was played in waltz time.

Hi all,

I just learned from the Joseph Spence thread  ( http://weeniecampbell.com/yabbse/index.php?topic=944.0 ), that his tune "Oh How I Love Jesus" is in waltz time.

Hi all

Apart from Leadbelly, Tom Darby and Jimmie Tarlton also did "Birmingham Jail".

Howard Armstrong & Ted Bogan did a fun version of an old german folksong "Du, Du Liegst Mir Im Herzen":

Hi all

I just came across "Penitentiary Blues", a waltz tune by Jimmie Davis, the "singing governor of Louisiana".
This tune from 1930 probably has black musicians Ed Schaffer and Oscar Woods backing him up on guitars, according to Dixon & Godrich.

A snippet can be heard at: http://www.allmusic.com/album/release/midnight-blues-1929-1933-mr0000608284

I  am amazed how unwaltz like they are.  On close inspection it is obvious but most people could rock out to these songs and often miss out on the fact that they are waltz numbers :D

Hi all

Jimmie Rodgers' beautiful "Prairie Lullaby" (written by Billy Hill) is in waltz time.

Hi all,
Dock Boggs' post-rediscovery recording of "Old Joe's Barroom" is in waltz time, as are his renditions of "No Disappointment In Heaven" and "Papa, Build Me A Boat".
All best,
Johnm
