A tune I composed for a very old friend who used to work as a secretary for one of Scotlands leading variety agents John Worth. She asked me if I could compose a waltz for her, so here's the finished result. All the pictures feature castles close to Inverness. I've played at a couple of them many moons ago.

A nice little waltz...
Well done...
I enjoyed the castles...
I wonder if the owners said "wanna see my house?" wink ...
Your song also reminded me of one I've had to play in one too many honky tonks near closing time...

Thanks Jim, I know the Westphalia. Can't remember if I've recorded it or not, but it's a cracking tune

Lovely tune! I can see myself waltzing with my wife to this. Once again, your accordion playing is exquisite. BTW, I am still waiting for The Outlander book from the local library. It is still checked out.

Hi Graham, this was wonderful! Excellent mixdown on all of this and the instruments are layered nicely. Really enjoyed the movement of the piano with the rest of the instruments. Nice work!


Cheers,
