I believe this tune is NOT copyrighted. My singing group made a first pass on it last practice and it sounds GREAT on our practice recording! Their complaint is that no one knows what it means. I do know that it is Jacobian. The web has a great Fawkian Site that comes up along with ALL the jacobian mathematics so I come to you MudCats to see if anyone has a translation and the story that MUST go along with this song. Please give me a history lesson and some word translations or somewhere I can go to get it. As always; indebted to you all! Merrillee
