    You just keep on producing those little gems, Frank. Lovely chord progression in this one and your improvised licks are lovely to hear.

    Great playing, Frank, and a lovely tune which I had not heard before!

    For those of who are not as fluent in learning tunes by ear as Frank, I found the ABC and standard notation here. The author of the tune is Brian Hebert:

    Inspired by Frank's great playing, here is my version of this Canadian waltz based on the transcription in my message above. First take recording -- I liked the relaxed feel of the take and I didn't want it to become over-rehearsed.

    1921 Gibson Ajr mandolin
    Vintage Viaten tenor guitar

    Fine recording, Martin! I like the relaxed feeling you give to this waltz.
    I also recorded a version without any hot licks, just the melody.
    Since I know nothing about Raemona, I show some pictures of Pembroke, Ontario, where Brian Herbert is active.
    Maybe Ginny has already been there...

    Two nice versions, Martin & Christian, following on from Frank starting the thread.

    Thanks, Martin, for the ABC.
