George Aichele asks about Uncle Toby's tune "Lillabullero." Anyone with a
shortwave receiver can hear this tune on the BBC World Service once every
hour between the signature THIS IS LONDON and time signal. Kind regards.

"Lillabullero" is a well=known political song, an 18th=century Orange
polemic, incidentally. The words vary, but it's still fairly heavily
charged. Oddly enough, I think it was recorded by Ed McCurdy on one of
his folk=song compilations many years ago (circa 1961?)... that's not
quite 50 years ago. Anyway, that's where I first heard it. It's a
catchy Irish tune, and I can hum it or play it for you on the
pennywhistle if you like... Kevin Berland
