Waltzes

Original tune by Victor Call of High Springs, Florida, evokes mood of the famous St. Crispin's Day speech in Shakespeare's Henry V. "We few, we happy few, we band of brothers..."

This tune is played at contra and English country dances in Florida. Guitarists might want to capo at the 3rd fret and play accompaniment as if in Em.
