Greetings. I'm new to this community, and I hope my request here is not at odds with the standard protocol. I have a couple tunes that I would like to share in the hopes that someone might recognize these, and help me identify their origin.

Here's a brief background. Sometime back around the turn of the century, my great-grandfather W.H. Grimshaw started a community orchestra in his small town (southern Utah, USA). That orchestra continued, off and on, in various iterations over the course of the next hundred years. About 8 years ago I tracked down the last surviving member of the old vanguard - a piano player. He was very excited to play me all the old tunes. I've been able to identify most of them as old standards, but there are two that have me at a loss. I've always wondered if these might be originals, or something "of the folk". But based on the rest of the repertoire, I suspect that these tunes are known compositions, and the original titles were simply forgotten in our community over the years.

He referred to both of these as "golden oldies" - which means they most likely hail from the turn of the century, and are possibly English in origin as his grandfather, a fiddle player, spent some time there, and learned many songs. The first song he called "The Danish Slide Off", and the other is simply "The Spanish Waltz" - both presumably the names of the dances. Audio files are attached to this post. (Please forgive my banjo playing! I was watching his fingers and strumming along.)

I'm hopeful someone might recognize these, but not overly optimistic. In any case, thank you to anyone reading this and taking a few minutes to listen to these tunes. Much appreciated!
