Re: French Canadian Waltz
The name "Usquhart G. Pender" does not sound French Canadian. "Urqhart' (if that's the name) is a Scottish name, and "Pender", Anglo Saxon. I've never heard of a French Canadian with either name.
added later: There are a couple of tunes named "Navajo Waltz" on YouTube, one by Pete Kelly and one by Jonah Littlesunday.

Reason: additiional info
Robert Johnson's mother, describing blues musicians:
"I never did have no trouble with him until he got big enough to be round with bigger boys and off from home. Then he used to follow all these harp blowers, mandoleen (sic) and guitar players."
