In this episode, we turn to the waltz. Despite my dad’s real love of Dixieland, other jazz music and all things Rat Pack, I think he really collected beautiful music like this so he could dance with my mom. So let’s do the dance done in three four time in Volume 42: Waltzes with a Continental Flavor.
