Hi Cranky

Referring to "Strike the bell", I'm not sure what youy say about the tune is true (though I might dispute the "Irish" origin. It is used in other contexts as a work song, and there are one or two English folk songs where the tune is used.

Just because HCW usually wrote his own tunes, doesn't mean he always did.

I'm interested, so I'll look through the forum before starting a new thread on this one.

Cheers!
Ian
