[QUOTE="Willing Spirit, post: 59914562, member: 295899"] Your welcome. Here is some more info that will probably be of interest to you: [url]http://apologetix.com/faq/faq-detail.php?faq_q_id=89[/url] To quote one part of the link above: "Legend has it that Martin Luther and John & Charles Wesley (of the Methodist Church) rewrote popular music from the taverns to accompany some of their hymns. Recently, church scholars have presented pretty convincing proof that Luther and the Wesleys did NOT do so, and that the legend arose from a misconception about the word "bar tune" or "bar form", which seminary students assumed meant a tune sung in local drinking establishments, but is actually a form of poetry popular in Medieval times -- a different kind of bar altogether." Here is another link, which gives a list of secular melodies used by the Salvation Army, including one of the drinking songs I mentioned earlier. Keep in mind, not all of the parodies are of Salvation Army origin: [url]http://www.themeonline.ca/UserFiles/The%20Salvation%20Armys%20secular%20heritage.pdf[/url] [/QUOTE]
