the old cowboy's waltz

I'm trying to find recordings of a beautiful waltz I heard Courtney Granger play at Balfa camp:
the Old Cowboy's Waltz or La valse du vieux vacher.

If anyone knows about it, your input would be appreciated.
thanks!

Re: the old cowboy's waltz

You can get the cd titled A Vielle Terre Haute, Balfa Toujours, which has 'The Old Cowboy's Waltz' on it. One source would be amazon.com.
I also found this clip which you can listen to at: http://www.arhoolie.com/titles/308.shtml

Hope this helps.
