Tom Cavanaugh	I will be playing an anniversary celebration in a few weeks and the people paying me want lots of waltzes. What are your top 10 waltzes. I already do Fascination, Blue Skirt, Can I have this Dance, Tennessee, Edelwise, Lonesome Tonight, and Somewhere My Love. How about Vienneese style? Lover maybe? Tom
jillhumb	I've always loved Mexicali Rose! Jill
Scottyee	Hi Tom, In addition to your selections, here are waltzes that I get numerous requests for: Maria Elena Piano Man Always Moon River My Favorite Things What The World Need Now (is Love) Charade Last Waltz Take Me Out to the Ballgame Scott
Tom Cavanaugh	Scott, Thanks! I forgot that I do Moon River and Always. There are three waltzes that we do as a swing with our big band. They are Maria Elena, Shanty Town and If I Had My Way. Maybe I'll do those three both ways. Tom
The Accordionist	Well, I'm an accordionist and I play tons of waltzes...theses are my top ones but quite a few are too ethnic for general (meaning - non-Italian!) usage: Lady of Spain Under Paris Skies Bionda Carnival of Venice Quando Una Baca De Teresa Anniversary Waltz Tennessee Waltz Somewhere My Love Always Il Sirio
SBPC	Tom, I’ve always grouped the waltzes I play into two categories, Slow Waltzes and Fast Waltzes. For the titles you named, I generally treat Blue Skirt Waltz and Edelweiss as Fast Waltzes (nominally 160 - 170 beats per minute) and the others as Slow Waltzes (nominally 100 - 105 beats per minute). Interestingly enough a few years ago we played a couple of parties for an Arthur Murray dance studio and they requested that we play our slow waltzes at 90 beats per minute. It seemed pretty slow to me, but that’s the tempo they used to teach their students the waltz. Anyway, here are some additional waltzes in each category (more than 10, but they all seem to go over well) Paul C. Fast Waltzes: The River Seine Wunderbar Skater’s Waltz Vienna Dreams Cruising Down the River Wonderful Copenhagen That’s Amore Whose Girl Are You Que Sera Sera Slow Waltzes You Light Up My Life Dear Heart True Love I Really Don’t Want to Know Allegheny Moon Vaya Con Dios Memories Till We Meet Again With Someone Like You Ramona Melody of Love Waltz You Saved for Me Together For You Come Back to Sorrento Mockingbird Hill
Uncle Dave	La Vie en rose! and don't forget the good 'ole boys - Mamma don't let your babies grow up to be (Dallas fans !) Them STINKIN' cowboys!
rattley	How about "My Wild Irish Rose"?
Scott Langholff	Here are my "biggies": Now Is The Hour My Buddy Melody Of Love Fascination Anniversary Waltz For You Girl Of My Dreams Tennessee Waltz Around The World Quentins Theme
Scott Langholff	Tom Wow, The Blue Skirt Waltz. You know there just isn't a lot of need for that good old Frankie Yankovic number down here in Florida. Where I grew up in Wisconsin that was almost a given that you played that at every dance along with Proud Mary and Release Me. Such variety huh?? Scott
DonM	Let's see what the others left out . . Amanda Waltz Across Texas Jole Blon Take It To The Limit At This Moment - maybe the greatest love song of all time. Thank God And Greyhound You're Gone! How Can I Get Over You 'Til You Get Out From Under Him? (That's a joke!) DonM
GlennT	Tom... If you're looking for some Viennese waltzes, these work well... all Strauss: Vienna Life Tales From Vienna Woods Blue Danube
Pilot	There's a couple missing: Tenderly I wonder Who's Kissing Her Now Bryan
GlennT	quote: Originally posted by Pilot: I wonder Who's Kissing Her Now And I've always wondered, where exactly is her *now*?
DonM	Dave, The BOYS are back! Long live Bill Parcells. What a difference a coach makes. DonM
Uncle Dave	Yeah, and playing our banged up, confused bunch really make 'em look like stars. Don't get excited - the Cowboys aren't for real just yet.... but you're right about Parcells. I wish Andy Reid would take his head out of Donavan's butt long enough to actually coach this team. First he gets pays a rookie more money than anyone in the league, then he gets rid of our veteran players, and he thinks this team will improve? Donavan is playing like a guy who has lost all interrest in performance......almost like he makes a million dollars a game. Oh yeah, he does. Hmmmmmmm........... It ain't easy being green !
DonM	Maybe Rush was right?? Don
