Every photograph I have seen of Zelma Kaplan shows her smiling. She is a pianist and accordian player from States with a fabulous reputation in the folk dance scene.

Selma Kaplan has been one of the standard bearers of traditional dance music of Scotland, Cape Breton, New England, and Quebec, for over 30 years. I believe she still lives in New York.
The tune, often known simply as ‘April Waltz', can be found at:
