Bruce	Lyr Req: The Night before Larry Was Stretched (14)	RE: The Stretching of Larry	03 Sep 97
It appears I misremembered the source of my copy. I can't find a transcript among copies of songs I made from Festival of Anacreon, 1789. My copy of the song is probably from one that I have in The Universal Songster, III, p. 140, 1828. The latter copy attributes the song to a 'Curren' but has no tune direction. I have done only 3 simple tunes so far in ASCII in ABC format, which apparently uses the SOUND command in BASIC for playing them, and I'm not very proficient at it yet. I have the tune "To the hundreds of Drury I write" it in a different ASCII format for use in the BASIC PLAY command. The tune is in John Barry Talley's Secular Music in Colonial Annapolis, p. 82, 1988. I don't know what Jon means by 'paste' to thread.
