Thread Name: Origins: Tune for Woody's 'Mail Myself to You'
Subject: RE: Origins: Tune for Woody's 'Mail Myself to You'
Joe Offer suggested (because of my wealth of hymnological wit and wisdom ;-) ) that I take a look at this. I know the tune from post-Woody recordings, grew up on it as done by PP&M I think, but can't think offhand what hymn tune it might be. And I'm totally slammed for time this week and next, so I would suggest one of you go to hymnary.org and use their tune identifier software (listed as "Melody Search") to put in the melody line and search for similarly contoured hymn tunes.
