My father (who happened to be an authority on Anglican church music) remarked to him that he thought that tune would make an excellent hymn.

I can't remember the name of the hymn but I certainly knew the tune. After Mass I asked the priest if he knew that this particular 'hymn' was sung to the tune of House of the Rising Sun, a song about a brothel in New Orleans. He nearly fainted and it was never sung again. egosumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13470226213102548696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4508374680487030801.post-57586966573864146182018-09-15T19:37:37.963+01:002018-09-15T19:37:37.963+01:00"This little light of mine, I'm gonna let..."This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine!"<br />My 5-year-old has just learnt this at school...DMGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06206797202576000858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4508374680487030801.post-48931981053167038592018-09-15T18:14:46.884+01:002018-09-15T18:14:46.884+01:00You can send postal votes to me c/o The Kevin Mayh...You can send postal votes to me c/o The Kevin Mayhew Book of Bathtime Gurgles.Eccleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00357168852208499013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4508374680487030801.post-21577270096680185072018-09-15T17:21:21.188+01:002018-09-15T17:21:21.188+01:00Some of the songs I love.
