Re: Re[4]: Itsy Bitsy Spider and other Liturgucal Themes

The person who was worried that it might upset people to learn that a 
tune they are singing is based on a nursery rhyme (or a drinking song) 
shouldn't be so concerned.   If people like the melody they won't care 
its origin and will continue to want to sing it.   If it does upset them 
that this is certainly information they should have.  People are 
intelligent enough to make informed decisions.   Perhaps it should be 
discussed at an adult ed class or religious comm. mtg.
