Wayfarer Waltz

Anybody got a copy of this one by SSS? It was #301 in his catalog. I think Turner published an "arrangement" in C. Either would work.

Thanks.

I assume you've been thru my Turner collection that Hal Allert has up on Classicbanjo.com? There's around 24 books (nowhere near being all inclusive). I would guess (SWAG) that it would be in one of the earlier JAT books than a later one.

Yep, no luck, though it seems that I've seen a copy before.

It is always fun to go through the Turner/Ellis stuff. Every time I do I seem to find something of interest.

This time it was this...

I've played though it. I like it. It comes alive with the second banjo. But… what is the deal with the title?

There is no resemblance whatsoever to Lansing's "Darkie's Dream." So what gives?

I mean, Ellis was not shy about ripping off music but here he uses the title and not the (very popular) melody.
