X:17 T:Backblock Shearer % NFF Book 2008 S:collected from Morrie Gierisch, Swan Hill, Vic S:Peter Ellis Collection, NLA B:Peter Ellis, "The Waltz, The Polka and All Kinds of Dance Music", p230, 2007 N:Morrie now plays this tune as a waltz as well as in 6-8 and often N:does it as an item switching from one time signature to the other. N:I think Morrie thinks the waltz is the Irish antecedant of Home Sweet Home, N:(which is isn't) but possibly got it from Alan Musgrove's CD where I N:think one of the Omeo performers sings it as a waltz. The tune is N:"Castle Gardens", from Ireland. The original is in 4-4, but Edgar Waters would N:say it's really originally come to Ireland from an English broadsheet. N:This whole blurb just summarises what the folk process is all about.
