Happy #waltzwednesday friends and fiddle lovers. Today I bring you a tune of dubious origins. This is the Westphalia Waltz and if you play the fiddle but you don’t know this one, I’m not sure what you’re even doing with your life. Is it an old Polish folk tune? Did Texas fiddler Cotton Collins write it? Did he learn it in Germany and then call it his own!Did he in fact steal it from Vince Icadona of Dallas? And why is it considered a tune of the Ozarks? So much intrigue... The only way to really know the truth is to watch Joe Weed’s lovely documentary called “The Waltz to Westphalia.” (Full disclosure: I played harmony to the wonderful Art Kee on a twin fiddle version of this tune over the credits of this documentary. But I don’t think it affected my opinions.) This tune is a classic. Get to work. Oh, and please keep wearing your masks and staying home. I love you all dearly. • #fiddle #fiddlestar #waltz #westphaliawaltz #chordsindispute
