Souvenir of Toronto

Souvenir of Toronto aka Souvenirs de Toronto aka Torontoi Emlek

I keep coming across various big names playing this, it's a lovely waltz, written quite recently, I think, by Sándor Jàróka 

<edit for a bum note & maybe should be a Bbm6 in bar 13>

Different folk play the moving voice under the static Dm and Gm chords in different ways - any corrections or ideas welcome. -A-

@AndyW Thank you for the hint, a beautiful waltz. Didn't know the tune, although there are lots of videos on youtube: Paulus Schäfer, Fapy Lafertin, Feigeli Prisor ...

cheers Willie, there are also nice versions by e.g. Tim Kliphuis, and here, by some of my Glasgow pals:

@AndyW Fantastic band, and I love the two singers! Open and free voices, clear but smooth timbre. Give me more!

Saw Tim Kliphuis and Jimmy Grant perform this tune tonight in DC. It was a fantastic performance of this song--truly a highlight of the evening. The rest of the concert was also lovely. There are still a few dates left on the U.S. East Coast. Check them out if they are near your area. If you already saw them, what did you think?
