Subject: RE: White Coral Bells: date? provenance?

Thanks, Masato. Tobitt's 1946 Ditty Bag was the first place I looked, and the song wasn't in the index. Turns out there is a separate index for canons and rounds. Sure enough, there it was.

OK, so now our earliest printed source is 1946, and Ebbie remembers it from the 1940's. Can we do better?
