I might as well confess, I'm the one that threw this tune/quandry into Linda's lap. Val know's this one too. It's a tune I found in a long list of things on either Richard Robinson's site or the "Big List" of ABC tunes(about 15,000) and was listed simply as "??? Waltz/CDorian". The tune appears on the "Files" page. I threw a bunch of chords at it and overdid it something fierce, so just throw them all out and start from scratch...oh, and tell me what you come up with. <G>
Also, we've been talking about how nice it would be to have this tune and a few others played with harmony parts for second mandolin, mandola, cello, bass maybe. Any takers?
