I just got the latest Kate & Anna CD, Odditties, from Amazon.ca (Canada) a nice tribute collection with “Log Driver’s Waltz” alone being worth the price.

John,
I actually have that song in my files, but it is taken from the cartoon. You can hear the water splashing in the background. I do love them singing it.

the cartoon/animation film “Log Driver’s Waltz” was done for the NFB (National Film Board of Canada) by John Weldon.

Ralph,
It most certainly is-exactly what I thought.

Wonderful. If my cat were not sleeping I’d waltz with her.

Lori,
I’m thinking she’d be glad to know she missed the dance.

Thanks, David.
I don’t even remember where I got the song, but at least now I know where it came from.
