Subject: Deep River or Steal Away?
I think I know why I was having so much trouble sequencing a midi of Deep River for the DT. It appears that the DT version here has the Steal Away chorus. Am I right?

I'm trying to help MMario gather missing tunes for the DT and always try to get the most authentic version I can. For me this is usually just checking out the sheet music at Levy and Duke. I told MMario last night that the words in the DT and the sheet music just didn't seem to fit. Malcolm Douglas stated a few days ago that often when the words and tune are from different sources they don't fit, so I'm a bit cautious here.

I haven't checked for Steal Away in the DT yet.
