Yes, 1779; I know it's odd, but Gordon told me, "Any old date will do, since I don't mind who sings it". Liz, I'm sorry I don't know exactly where you can hear the tune; perhaps someone else who sees this will have an idea. I only know that the original tune (How Can I keep From Singing) is a Quaker hymn. Too bad I can't just ring you and sing the tune to you over the phone!best, Auxiris
