Subject: Psalm 133 and The Battle Hymn of the Republic


I have a co-worker (Chris) who claims that when he was in France in 1976 a
Sephardi Rabbi chanted psalm 133 for him (Shir hama'alot- hinei ma tov uma
naim shevet achim gam yachad etc.) with a tune which was related to 'The
Battle Hymn of the Republic'. Chris would like to track this tune down, if
possible. Does this ring a bell for anybody, or is somebody just whistling
'Dixie'?
                            Thanks,
                            EK
