Thread Name: Patriot Game (tune source?)
Subject: RE: Patriot Game
In the Digital Tradition, the tune for "Patriot Game" is The Nightingales Sing (which is a version of the song also known as "The Merry Month of May" or "The Bold Grenadier"). Trouble is, the tune doesn't seem to be working - it's the first of the two tunes for NTNGALE4. I'd upload another copy, but I think I'll just ask you to believe me that it's the same (I asked Jeff to fix it). In the meantime, you can download the whole Digital Tradition and see for yourself.
I wonder if I can find that Jo Stafford folk music CD to see how she sang it...

later...I got it sorted out with Jeff. You'll find the tune in Wild Rippling Waters, which is yet another version of Nightingale (and a very interesting one, at that).
