What was the name of the hymn being played at the very beginning? I know that tune, but I can’t for the life of me remember the name of it or the lyrics! It’s driving me crazy! ![]()
Here is one way to sample the album. I think the cuts are in the order of the program.
I keep hoping to find this CD on sale somwhere.
Good luck,
Tom D.
it’s the first track (with some guy talking over it) but it doesn’t list the name of the song. ![]()
Well, I’ll just whip out my copy and look it up, hee hee…
The tune is “Beech Spring”…the narrator is Matthew Broderick, fyi.

I don’t suppose you know any names of hymns using that tune? I KNOW I’ve sung something in church with that melody. ![]()
Well, well, well, I’ve found these lyrics which can be set to “Beech Spring”–“Come thou fount of every blessing”:
