In 1947, Cotton Collins from Texas copyrighted the Westphalia Waltz and recorded it with his band, the Lone Star Playboys:

BUT

Here's a recording from 1930 of a Polish tune/song Pytala Sie Pani:

And while we're turning up old tracks, how about this one. An old Cuban classic, Son De La Loma, recorded in Oct 2011 by the rehearsal band Conjunto Beausire, with:

Ted Beausire: Trombone
Marcia Willis: Vocals
Louise Ewen: Congas
Kristina Denyer: Bongos
Sanjay Manohar: Piano
Chris Denyer: Tres
Ben Chappel: Soprano Sax
Jeremy Kahn: Bass

It's a bit of a rough recording, but it captures a certain spirit.

Turned up this old gem featuring my late and very dear friend Martin Kemp on tenor. Also Sanjay Manohar on piano and Louise Ewen percussion. I play the electric bass and also guitar.

I wrote the tune or, perhaps more precisely, assembled it from various stolen components. It was recorded in about 2008 or 2009.
