Back to Ozark Waltz
OZARK WALTZ. Old-time, Waltz. USA, Arkansas. F Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AA'BB'. "Ozark Waltz" was originally recorded in June, 1930, by the Morrison Twin Brothers String Band of Searcy County, Arkansas, featuring the twin fiddles of Abbie (1876-1965) and Absie (1876-1964, sometimes "Apsie") Morrison, who were themselves twins. Guthrie Meade believes the tune might have been adapted from an air of a popular song from around the turn of the 20th century, and identifies an early recording by Earl & Joe (1930) in addition to the Morrison's. Drew Beisswenger (2008) notes that it is not played much in the Ozarks in modern times.
