about

Traditional New Mexico and traditional Australian. Dave Gittus: button accordion; Ian White: banjo; Julie Gittus: fiddle

Waltz de Cadena is a New Mexico tune Dave and Julie learnt from a recording by the Jenny Vincent Trio. New Mexico has a parallel history with Australia with19th century gold discoveries enticing waves of new settlers from Europe and the British Isles, resulting in a musical heritage strikingly similar to our own.

Maurie Gervasoni from Yandoit, Victoria, played the second tune on his piano accordion at Dave & Julie's kitchen table amidst his stories of weekly dances held at the Yandoit Hall. Julie asked Maurie if the waltz had a name: Maurie replied: 'It's got a name alright ... but I don't know what it is!' We've since referred to it as Maurie's tune to differentiate it from the two Gervasoni waltzes we'd learnt from Maurie years before.
