Thread Name: songs to the tune of Star of the County Down
Subject: RE: Star of the County Down
The hymnal probably took its cue from Vaughan Williams, who found the tune used for "Dives and Lazarus", thereby giving it its other most-used name. Thanks, Dale, for the pointers to McCormack's recording; I'll start hunting. I'm hoping to put this all together as a radio show sometime in March. Perhaps for St. Pat's Day?

Peace. Paul
