Subject: RE: Help: Who wrote the tune to Raglan Road???
Good of you to post the words Julia L, but Andy Hunter's version WAS mentioned on 4/11/00 by Ewan McVicar, even if he didn't name the song...... if you read the whole thread.
And I heard a friend sing Jim Radford's "Shores of Normandy" just last week when all the big commemorations of the D-Day landings were happening.

And (thread drift a bit) there are a lot of poems whose meters fit certain tunes - witness several songs to the tunes of "Tramps and Hawkers" and "Star of the County Down" for example.
