PMC.....compare the sheet music and I think you'll find limited similarities in the common thread of each tune but its easily understood when you think of many 6/8 songs (hence Dick's joke).

BTW Bruce, you are perhaps the best historian and researcher around.......But your website is the least user friendly thing I have ever encountered. I have no idea how to make so much information easier to locate, but I'm not alone in feeling that we of mortal flesh DO need an Enigma to find things there. I know I'm not a rocket scientist or even much of a computer geek, but sending someone to your website is like sending a blind man wearing a blindfold into a black, windowless room, with no lights or flashlight to find an onyx marble in a jar of licorice jelly beans.....which is buried under the floor.
