        This is another song that although not particularly old, is by a not well known artist and may be hard to get - use any waltz about the same tempo as a substitute.
My first ever waltz (long forgotten) was called Western Waltz - out of frustration with trying to find a name, and as this one was written for the Chinchilla workshop, I have taken an easy naming option.
