"Ingterewsting" [giggle....I think I know how this happened] I think that the answer, specifically, is quite simple.... The answer is "a lot".....

Johann Posted December 10, 2013 Posted December 10, 2013 During Second World War I was surprised to hear British soldiers singing very secular texts to the same tunes we used in church on Sabbath. So I started investigating and discovered the secular texts were the original ones to the tunes. In particular I was aghast at hearing them singing about the benefits of alcohol to the tune of What a Friend We Have in Jesus. Quote
Moderators Kevin H Posted December 10, 2013 Moderators Posted December 10, 2013 Greg, same with me, it gave me two wrong answers without asking the question. But otherwise I enjoyed this Quote
