Thanks for the information regarding the composer of this peice. However, I attempted to research Turlough O'Carolin's relation to this piece and wasn't able to find an association - it is not in O'Carolan's list of completed works nor found associated or derived in any other way, that I could find. Perhaps the piece was written by O'Carolan under a different title. If you have a link that you could share to fill me in, please do.
I learned this as Kevin Keegan's Waltz, Jody but someone thinks you wrote it. It was 1979 when Kevin Keegan died I was in the music establishment with Joe Burke when the phone call came to tell Joe. I haven't given up on it though I've played it for years and if you wrote then fair Play to you you should get the credit. I'll e-mail Maureen. Sorry to make you wait
I knew Kevin Keegan in St. Louis, Mo in the 90's and 2000's. He did not die in 1979. In fact, I replaced Kevin in the second incarnation of the Geyer Street Sheiks in the early 90's as the Sheiks' fiddler. Last time I saw Kevin he was barnstorming across the Midwest (teaching flying privately and giving rides for money, etc) He came into the violin shop where I worked (Geoffrey Seitz Violins) around 2010 or so.....last time we saw him... I also knew Joe Burke and spent a great amount of time at McGurk's...etc.
Jody here, I did not post the video. I did not write the tune. I never claimed it either. I learned it from Kevin Keegan. Kevin did not claim to have composed it either. He played it as a medley with a jig that others called "The Orphan". He said the two tunes were "the same only different". On my 1974 recording of the tune I gave it the tongue-in-cheek pun title "Walt's Waltz". The two syllables of the title are The Same Only Different. .

@@elrioviolino3549 The Kevin Keegan associated with this tune was an accordion player. He was not a pilot or a fiddler.
