Lovers Waltz
Heard this on Radio na Gaeltachta over the weekend, thought it was a beautiful waltz and discovered it hadnt been added here yet.
By Jay Ungar and Molly Mason I think?

Yes, it's one of Jay Ungar's melodies. He plays it on his online radio station

Yeah, one of my favorites
I got to hear Jay and Molly perform this live in Sackets Harbor a few years ago, and it is quite spectacular. He's recorded it on one of their Ashokan CD's, and I really liked how he put it together. You play it twice through in G major, and then play it a third time in D major. Makes a nice finish if you walk up to a D above the staff and give just a twitch of vibrato. My aunt and I have been playing it like this ever since, and it is a guaranteed sigh at the end. Happy fiddling!

If you liked Jay and Molly's version of this song, you might appreciate the first version I heard as well.
It was done in 1998 by local musicians in Louisiana, by the names of Lee Benoit and Mark Hebert. I believe it was very well done.

The first version I heard was by my favorite Cajun band, Steve Riley and the Mamou Playboys. You can find it on their CD, "Trace of Time" from Rounder Records. It's a very sweet twin-fiddle performance.
