That was really nice, Ginny. I liked some of the embellishments you had in there. I'm working on this tune, too, and am going to try them myself.
When the work's all done and the sun's settin' low,
I pull out my fiddle and I rosin up the bow.

Thank you all for your encouragement. It was with lot of mistakes. Will try harder.
@RosinedUp: that was very nice, both the backup and playing. I'm very impressed. First Musescore backup, wow.
@Ginnysg: that is so nice. You did a great job. I need to learn that tune one day.

Hope I'm not too late for this party, I've had other things taking my precious time ... 
It was while reading the friendly banter about Aussie songs and in particular some of the strange Aussie lingo (I'll have to teach you all some day), I remembered this tune from my old guitar book. Not sure whether it actually passes as a waltz, sounds fine to me (except when I play it).
So, with literally 5 minutes practise and my usual finesse ... and as usual, the dog next door doesn't appreciate me ...
If you think you can, or you think you can't, you're probably right.

@Robyn.fnq - that was lovely, I've never heard that tune before... I like it!
I had to laugh with the dog next door... but I don't think he was objecting, he was just singing along!

Robyn,
A lot of Yakka went into playing that. Great job.

Nice playing there Robyn.

Very nice, Robyn! I wasn't familiar with that song, either. At first I thought it would be Waltzing Matilda, but quickly realized that the melody was different. I looked it up and learned that the lyrics are rather poignant. Thanks for sharing that. I've learned something new.

Thanks Robyn. Another new piece for me.

I can't tell you all enough how much I am enjoying this thread. It's making me feel confidant enough to head on over to the Intro section. Thanks. You all sound wonderful!

You're right Diane, I was reminded of this song when I was working with veterans, and even though it was quoted 1914, I think it is relevant to all of them.
I first heard it sung by the Bushwackers Band
Big tear jerker ...

I should add that Anzac Day is in April (hence the reference in the song).

This has been a great party, so here's one more contribution to keep it going. This is one of my favorite songs from one of my favorite movies: Edelweiss, from The Sound of Music.
I always thought it was a traditional Austrian folks song, but after some discussion on the chatbox the other night, we discovered that it was written by Rodgers and Hammerstein for the musical.
