Right sorry Sandman ~ I find that the tune is an extremely useful hook to aid learning songs ~ poetry was always a problem for learning as such~ and I thought others thought as I do regarding tunes/poems/ and learning ~ I stand corrected!

Tunes believe it or not change with the song and one of the earlier posts did allude to difficulties being experienced with learning new song tunes ~ I agree with that ~

Tunes are of course, certainly for me a must learn before or indeed at the same time as the song lyrics and are vital ~ (well it is a song!!)
