http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ORiKbL7B0Mo Has anyone at all heard of Henry's Waltz? This originated from Queensland, Australia (I think Aboriginal). It uses lots of double notes (major 3rds) and is a nice, catchy AABB waltz. It is played in the key of C and both rows are used on this C/G BUSILACCHIO melodeon.
I'm personally really keen to hear what people think of this Australian tune and whether you know any more about it!

Was that your Whiskey in the Jar? Very nice.

It is a popular and catchy waltz at Aussie sessions.

Hi Dmentias, the key of G version sounds pretty good in that key. I have two accordions like the one Barney's playing (right) that I bought of Harry McQueen of Castlemaine. Mine are C and G (both single rows with stops). Who is the gent on the left? I haven't actually heard it a whole lot in the jams I've attended but more hear 'Rose of Alandale'. Thanks for your link. Hector
