She must've gone       through       a dozen fiddle CD's when she finally found it playing on the sound system in       a little       folk museum in West Va. She was just tickled and she brought this CD home       to my brother who promptly announced that he new that song and if she'd just       hummed       it for him he could've told her it was from.............Saturday morning       cartoons. :)              > (by the way, Maidens Prayer isn't a waltz it is in 4/4 time.
