This is not totally clarinet related, but do you have any of the
other information on the "Oh Didn't He Ramble" tune? I have seen it in a
hymnal as a spiritual with no composer designation. Did W.C. Handy compose
it or arrange it? That is the tune to NMSU's fight song, which, by the way,
was rated #1 by _Sports Illustrated_ - the #1 WORST fight song in the NCAA.
The lyrics have to do with drinking to excess.
