I learned to waltz to my uncles playing this. This and the Garden Waltz are my favorites and here in Texas there are still a few places you can dance to it. I remember very clearly the day I was driving to work, listening to a "new" song on the radio. It was by TG Shepard and it sounded SOOOO familiar. It finally dawned on me. The melody to "Last Cheater's Waltz" is actually the Westphalia Waltz! Nooooooo....... I hate that. Anybody listen to Johnny Horton? I love him, but his song "Battle of New Orleans" is words to The 8th of January. I like the song but it sticks in my craw, come on, write your own music.
this is pretty interesting thanks for piecing all that stuff together for us! one time my fiddle teacher told me, arron copland's hoedown was just a collection of allot melodies from these old tunes, similar with dvorjak pieces. its cool that you said which ones exactly.
Sorry but the story is that the tune is an old German one that was made popular by the gentleman you mention. The Westphalia name is from the town in Germany not Texas.
theamazing39 Germany sucks Poland much better You can read?? en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westphalia_Waltz www.joeweed.com/documentaries/westphalia_waltz.htm
@@rueridge7597 i am a little late Germany does not suck. Never has Poland, the polish are great people. He is right Westphalia is in Germany Westphalia Texas was named after it. you are correct on where the waltz originates from and was inspired on two polish waltzes. That was mentioned. however this waltz comes into its own right and is distinguished from its predecessors. as every waltz is.
Bloody heck..!!! This is absolutely spine-tingling. I'm on my 51st cycle of listening to this version of this tune. Love it.
And, I still keep coming back.
Exactly how my fiddle teacher taught me. Love this!
This is lovely playing!
Beautiful!

Stonebridge Farm Caravan Park
It came from polish not kraut waltz. And it was made famous by Texas and other Midwest dance bands.
Westphalia is a region in Germany, not a town (I am from there).
