    This is a Swedish waltz, written by the great Ale Möller and originally recorded on the 2003 album "Sluring" by his group Frifot. I have learned it from the French tunebook posted a while ago by Simon (link)

    For my recording, I have played the tune on my all-mahogany octave mandolin.

    You bring a nice sound out of this all-mahagony OM.

    A fine waltz, Martin, and a great depth in the sound of that octave.

    Nice tune, nicely played! But I had a look at the link to the tunebook, and it doesn't seem to appear anymore.

    Thanks, all -- it's a fun tune, and as it didn't have any chords in my source (unlike most other tunes in the book), I decided to keep it unaccompanied. After not recording for a couple of weeks because of work commitments, I went on a bit of a binge over the bank holiday weekend and recorded seven new tunes -- three uploaded, four to go.

    Christian: the original site is down, but the book is archived at the Wayback Machine. Try this link:
