Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Swing the Shining Sickle

Thanks for posting, and Guest, thanks for bringing this thread back up. This is a welcome addition to my harvest songs.

The tune, though. With those half-steps, it is no surprise that it was written in 1895, when Tin Pan Alley was revelling in the black keys. I believe I'll compose an alternate tune which is more friendly to chord players.
