MY OWN HOUSE WALTZ. AKA - "My Ain Hoose," "My Home" (Mo dhachaidh), "My Home Waltz," "Old Living Room Waltz." Scottish, English, Old-Time; Slow Air or Waltz (3/4 or 6/8 time). A Major [most versions]: A Major ('A' part) & D Major ('B' part) [Phillips]. Standard tuning (fiddle). One part (Laufman): AB (Kennedy, Laufman, Phillips, Raven): AABB (Brody): AA'BB' (Kaufman). Scottish versions are generally titled "My Home" (Mo dhachaidh), have a slightly different 'B' part and feature a double tonic at the cadences. Phillips' version, in two keys, is simply a melodic repeat of the same material in the subdominent key. See also the jig/march setting in O'Neill as "Long John's Wedding."
The waltz was popular among "revival" fiddlers of the 1970's, but does not seem to have been in tradition in America prior to then. Instead, it was probably learned from tune books, first by contra-dance musicians, then by old-time.
Source for notated version: Highwoods String Band (Ithica, N.Y.) [Brody]; Ned Phoenix [Phillips].
