Gibb-

I'm far afield of my reference books, here in deepest darkest Michigan, but I will give "Tommy's Gone" some more thought when I return. I used the same tune for Hamish Maclaren's "Yangtse River Shanty" which I adapted from SAILOR WITH BANJO, his 1929 sailors folk opera. Sorry, more thread drift!

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
