Thread Name: Is 'Amazing Grace' a Celtic song?
Subject: RE: Is 'Amazing Grace' a Celtic song?
Gosh, I thought there was just a double post. Now I notice Jim decided he needed to insult me twice. Insulting is certainly easier than trying to articulate what one is hearing, or why one finds similarities.

Tune similarity can be fairly subjective. I often find one tune making me think of another. When I listen more closely or look at the music I can decide what made them seem similar & may decide they are not particularly close afterall. As long as no claim is being made for one tune being model for AG, it doesn't really make that much difference.

Jim, you can follow my link to hear Old Martyrs. Nice tune, but different from the others mentioned in the thread.
