   Yeah Kate,   
      
   Put me down for the Kentucky Waltz and Over the Waves.   
      
   (by the way, Maidens Prayer isn't a waltz  it is in 4/4 time.  My dad won a   
   fiddle contest once using it as the waltz tune and the other fiddlers were   
   quite displeased.  Later they baned it's use as a waltz.  Slow and pretty is   
   not a waltz.  He knew it wasn't a waltz, he just had to try it though )
