Thread Name: Origins: Hot Buttered Rum (Tommy Thompson)
Subject: RE: HotButtered Rum
The song (with notation of the melody) appeared in the Chicago-based publication "Come for to Sing" many years ago (like 15-20). Joe, I'll try to dig up my copy, from which I learned the song, and mail a copy of that page to you. By the way, "CFTS" was a terrific publication, edited by Emily Friedman, full of great information, controversial opinion, and lead sheets to neat songs. I subscribed for almost all its life and, I'm sure, am not the only one sorry to see it cease publication sometime in the 1980s (even though the editor's shoot-from-the-hip style drove me more than crazy on occasion).
