Would any one have Tab for "Down Home Waltz". I've looked in the Cafe tab listing but I didn't find it. I tried Mandozine also with no luck. I heard it recorded by Buck White and David Grisman.

What a great melody.
Mandolin Magazine's Tom Moran noted it out in G in one of the issue, forget which one.
Buck's version (with over-dubbed mandolins, very perfect) was recorded on That Down Home Feeling on County Records back in the 70's, I think. That LP has the nifty number Fancy Dan, which I wore out trying to learn. Jack Hicks' wonderful banjo graces that record too.

It is simple and beautiful. I know you're asking for tab, but this is a good one to do some ear training on. Start on the A string with a D note (5th fret) and walk up the E string to a G note(3rd fret) and you have the opening. then walk it back down and you're on your way.

I think Buck's Down Home Waltz is in standard music notation in Waltz Book Three. I am at work and don't have the publication in front of me but also I remember this starting on the D note as Shaun describes.
Sweet little tune

Awesome!
Last two measures should be D string 5th fret, not A string 5th Fret.
You end on a G not a D... http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/coffee.gif

I think Buck recorded it in F. Anyone have the old record?

The note is right but the tab is wrong on that ending. Otherwise, looks pretty much just how I play it!

Not exactly. #The standard notation is correct. #The TAB is not on the last note http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mandosmiley.gif
