Thanks for a nice performance John - For those interested, the music is in Jason Waldron's book 'Popular Classics of the Great Composers' Vol 6

@Billinabinet Thank you, Bill. I am not familiar Jason Waldron's particular arrangement of this work. I had been playing this for years, but lost my own original arrangement to an old SCSI hard drive. I found a version by Kevin J Manges to be quite familiar and readily available on the internet. If Waldron's version is expanded, I would be very interested in it myself. :)
