    The fiddler at my jam always pulls out these great canadain tunes.

    This week, it was a tune he called black velvet.

    Anyone know it? have a recording of it? a score?

    I just searched for "black velvet waltz" in Google Images. The first three hits were transcriptions as .gif images.

    OK. Can't note it, but I'll try to cut a MP3 of it in the next day or so and email it to you.

    edit: this link is kinda close to my version i play, but a little different. The one i play is in C.

    There's an ABC for this:"BLACK VELVET WALTZ [1]", at http://www.ibiblio.org/fiddlers/BLACK.htm
    don't know if it's the right one.
