"The Black Velvet Waltz", also known as "Whiskey Waltz" is a Canadian (originally) and American waltz in C Major. The parts are played AABB. Perlman (1996) notes that Fred Mann (who had the tune from Howard Beyer) named this tune for a brand of Canadian whiskey. It has also been attributed to Winnipeg radio fiddler Andy De Jarlis, and (by Al Cherny) to Canadian radio CKNX Barn Dance fiddler Ross Mann. The tune entered Midwest U.S. repertoire probably from Canadian broadcasts and older fiddlers from the region (e.g. Les Raber, Charlie Walden) are aware of its Canadian Roots. Fiddlers in Oregon sometimes call it the "Cowboy Waltz" (not the same tune as the "Cowboy Waltz" played by Henry Reed. It was printed in Perlman's The Fiddle Music of Prince Edward Island (1996) and Phillips' Traditional American Fiddle Tunes, vol. 2 (1995). It was recorded by Vesta Johnson on Down Home Rag.
