Advanced Tune Tuesday - Memory Waltz
I was rather delighted learn that this week’s #2022advancedplayerschallenge tune was Memory Waltz. It’s one of my absolute favorites. I love the tune itself and I love the memories (puns, I’ve got puns) of learning it from Dick and Lisa Barrett when I spent a fantastic week with them back in the early 80s. I was 11 years old and thought I knew it all. Then they showed me this beautiful tune and I spent the next six months working on it alone in my bedroom. I had never encountered double stops like this, and I’d never played over an Eb chord in my short life. This one waltz reinvigorated my desire to practice and improve and learn new things. It’s fun to play it again, especially without the pesky contest time limit. Thanks again Dick and Lisa, and Howdy Forrester for writing it in the first place.
