The Fiddler Has Played His Last Waltz: A Song History
"The Fiddler Has Played His Last Waltz For The Night" is one of the 75 jam tunes Stephen Seifert gathered for his DAD-tuning mountain dulcimer book Join the Jam, where it is written out as a melody with chords and paired with a recording of Seifert playing it through once, slowly.[1] The collection does not name a composer for the tune, and none of the other sources consulted identifies who wrote it or when.[1]
