But the thread still doesn't mention who wrote the words to ECG. My memory tells me it was Fred someone, an American. Can anyone elucidate. The tune of course became popular after Sharp noted it from William Kimber, musician for the Headington Quarry Morris. Sharp published the tune and Grainger liked it and arranged it.
