Love this! At first I thought you were playing "In the Sweet By and By" and then heard "Ol' Rosin the Bow" at the start of part B.. Beautiful. Your version is the best of all.
The first several lines are very similar to the first few lines of the melody to "In the Sweet By and By" (music by Joseph P. Webster, 1819-1875) - but still a beautiful piece!!!
Thank you so much for this beautiful Waltz, and beautiful playing. I'd never heard this Waltz, but will be learning it on the fiddle when my shoulder heals from a strain.
Very nicely done!! Brings back a lot of memories for me. I have tried to find an actual recording on the Tube of Graham playing this very pretty (Celtic influenced / Scottish-English sounding) "Debbie's Waltz." This is the best version I can find of it on the Tube. But what some may not know about this tune is that Graham's father, Freddie Townsend, called this piece "The Rose of Avon-moor." Freddie was from England. Fred and Enid Townsend and their little dog Monique lived at Chalk River and I would visit them with my grandparents occasionally. While there, Freddie would sit at his piano and teach me many, many old tunes. I thought this was an authentic old traditional piece. Take care!
Wow, that's a very interesting new angle on it for me. I'd never heard any background on it besides Graham's writing credit, but it doesn't surprise me to hear that it has deeper roots. Thanks very much for your kind words, I appreciate that!
@@panchoandlefty77 I actually checked around and found another Waltz being called "The Rose of Avon More" or Avonmoore, and it is the Rose of Sharon Waltz. Weird. Wonder why Freddie called "Debbie's Waltz" The Rose of Avonmoor" ? Oh well, all I know is the three of then are very beautiful pieces and you play it so nicely!! I used to play the Rose of Sharon Waltz too, back in the day, when I went to contests too.
And if you think they play well, you just have to attend a live concert! The whole band is incredible singers, and Will...., well, just say he compares very favourably with ANY super artist.
Enjoyed it greatly but it is remarkably reminiscent of a Scottish lament called Hector the Hero, only converted into a waltz. Whatever, it is a fine tune.
You know, you're right and I hadn't noticed the resemblance til now. I LOVE Hector the Hero. Maybe Graham Townsend listened to it before he wrote this!

@@Burfordfiddler1962 well now I'm going to have to learn the Rose as well! Thanks again! :)
Why did he name it Debbie's Waltz. It was my favorite waltz that I heard last week at a fiddlers festival in Mount Airy, NC, so I recorded it.
Superb playing guys. I may learn this one!

What make is your violin
That instrument is actually a fairly old Chinese student violin; a very good one that I started playing on.
And if you think they play well, you just have to attend a live concert! The whole band is incredible singers, and Will...., well, just say he compares very favourably with ANY super artist.
Thanks a lot Ken!!
