Nice one, George - except for the synthesised sounds at the beginning and at the end 
(I have a strong dislike for electric/electronic organs etc.)

Speaking of waltzes and writing second and third parts... by posting this, you've given me an idea for two new pieces I have to write someday.
In the 3rd act of Johann Strauss's Die Fledermaus, there is a joke (in German) that runs like this:
"There's a young lady here to see you."
"What does she look like?"
"She didn't tell me."
"Did she tell you her name?"
"Um... let me see...
Blaue Eiche (Blue Oak)?
Gelbe Buche (Yellow Beech)?
Ah! I remember! Rosa Linde (Red Linden). I knew it was SOME kind of tree!"
In honor of the 19th century waltz king and 20th century polka king... before this century is out, there shall be a Blaue Eiche waltz and a Gelbe Buche polka!
