Just thought on it, while reading your text. Remember the song :-
Hello Mudder - Hello Fadder
Here I am at - Camp Granada
And it's very - entertaining
And they say we'll have some fun if it stops raining
Now those are the words I turned up with a google, just humming the tune
to myself they fit the tempo of the classical piece I was thinking of. I
just recall it from records, some comedian back in the 70's ????
I'll take a stab, having googled again - composer Ponchielli and the
music above from his Opera 'La Giaconda' - what says the Opera buff,
Michael M. ?
