Subject: RE: Your earliest childhood musical moment?
My Father used to sing a song of which the chorus went "Over the mountains over the sea, that's where my heart is longing to be,please let the light that shines on me, shine on the one I love".This may have been the chorus from the song called the Happy Wanderer as he used to also sing it. I think he learnt it during WW11 when he was in either North Africa, or later Italy, when he also learnt more than one version of the D-Day Dodgers, which used the tune of Lili Marleane.
