Subject: Mobile / Cellphone tune for a folkie
I have recenty (perhaps against my better judgement - but I need it for work) bought a mobile (cell)phone.

As you are doubtless aware, from being endlessly annoyed at hearing other peoples phones ringing at inopportune moments, most mobile phones offer you a choice of 'tunes' that you can use as your ring tone.

Mine allows me (within limitations) to put in my own tune.

The limitations are however quite severe. I can use an octave plus a tone with no accidentals (C - D+), I am only allowed 'long' or 'short' notes, (crotchets and quavers) - no fancy triplets or suchlike, the phone plays at (approx) 200 bpm so it needs to be a fast tune, and I am limited to a maximum of 40 notes.

I tried putting in 'Gravel Walk' which works quite well, but I run out of notes way before the end of the second 'resolving' half of the tune.

So, can anyone recommend a good tune that fits within the above criteria?

I'd be grateful if replies didn't moan about such devices, but concentrated on finding me a tune - if you hate such phones, just look on it as a musical puzzle. I had to get one for work...

Looking forward to your thoughts

Regards

Zeb
