NORWEGIAN (WALTZ) [1], THE. Canadian, Waltz (3/4 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB'. A waltz of currently unknown provenance despite the title. Peter Yarensky remarks that he found a similar melody on a Scandinavian recording called the "Amerika Vals." The waltz was recorded by New Brunswick radio and TV fiddler Don Messer [1] (1909-1973) and his band The Islanders in 1952. Ontario fiddler Graham Townsend recorded Messer's version some years later, playing with a bit more style and panache. French-Canadian fiddlers sometimes add an extra measure to the 'B' part of the tune.
