TO AN OLD ROSE. American, Waltz (3/4 time). A Major ('A' part) & D Major ('B' part). Standard tuning (fiddle). ABB. Composed in the 1970's by North Dakota fiddler Joe Pancerzewski (-1991), the “Fiddling Engineer", in honor of an old "Peace Rose" bush in Seattle musicians and entrepreneurs Phil and Vivian Williams' backyard.
