Book excerpt: This is a collection of 62 original waltzes and airs by Jay Ungar & Molly Mason including their classics: "Ashokan Farewell," "The Lovers' Waltz," "The Snowstorm," "Love of My Life" and many more. Jay & Molly live in New York's Catskill Mountains where they run the legendary Ashokan Music & Dance Camps. Highly influenced by music taught at Ashokan, their infectiously playable original tunes reflect a wide variety of styles and moods from Western waltzes, to French Musettes, to Celtic airs, to Scandinavian and Eastern European sounding melodies. Each tune is complete with chord symbols, a descriptive paragraph, and several include illustrative photos.
