Brigadoon is my joint favourite show, along with Carousel. Plenty of good tunes in both. 
… btw, the reason I love Brigadoon so much is that it’s so convincingly and authentically Scottish. So quaint! 
Sometimes one must jerry-rig.
And then edit well after the fact. 
Yes, I noticed.
Basketball here. The Boston Celtics.
Thanks Mr Guru
That sort of idea was behind the second half of the question “showing that they haven’t done much reading of older posts here before joining in”. Like hanging around a session to get a feel of the way things go before joining in.
I was going to say that the low incidence of slagging with you folks over there was refreshing - until the system showed me the crossing posts
Nice catch… but you missed the space between ‘aires’ and ‘[sic’! 
Was just about to suggest that’s not incompatible with not (yes, I have the right negatives in the right places!) buying into the whole ‘Brigadoon’ thing…
But say ‘get thee to a Herefordshire/Gloucestershire border fayre’ instead! 
Yep, I should have thought of that too! 
Oddly enough, I’ve known folks who’d been around sessions and workshops long enough so that you’d think they’d just absorb the idea, but left uncorrected, they’ll still say “song” out of habit until the issue is pointed out to them. Seldom have I ever heard a beginner ask, “Why do you say ‘tunes’? Is there a special reason for that?” German Whistler did ask this. An alert mind can be a refreshing thing. 
However, I don’t think we can justify expecting people to think to ask about this - that is, if they’ve even noticed. It’s just the way it is. You can’t really know what someone knows or doesn’t know until they speak. Then - maybe - you have a learning opportunity. It’s a good argument for being nice to people about it.
One tires after a time, when what was sublime has long face-planted itself into the ridiculous.
I think I’ll leave it that way just on general principle. 
Ben is not even aware that the proper abbreviation of Herefordshire is “Herfs”. There’s simply no hope for him.
Oh, and I’m done editing, Peter.
Think he deserves that column-stretching-location when Herefs./Glos. (despite being even uglier and no more comprehensible) would fit? Or could you (as fellow Mod) just change it to Brigadoon for him?
Och, just one more… going to edit Ben’s location? (Pretty please?)
You have no idea. I just knew you were lurking somewhere. Do you think that after making a statement like that, that I was going to buckle? I was hoping you would have replied, “For now, you mean.” To which I was going to answer, "Naturally. 
"
Hell, no.
Come to think of it, how are the words melody and tune used differently?
When I’m using the word “tune” in reference to a whole, as in “this tune” or “that tune”, I would use “melody” to describe its contents. Not saying it’s the right way over all, but it seems to make more sense to say, “This tune’s melody is pretty straightforward,” than the other way around.
Otherwise, “tune” and “melody” can sometimes be interchangeable. You can say, “How does that tune go?” and substitute the word “melody” just fine. But I wouldn’t say, “That sarabande’s tune is stunning.”
Then there’s, “We’d better tune. It’s making listening to the melody a chore.”
Pretty much what I thought, but for some reason, when I think of melody I just think of the series of notes but not necessarily the meter, time and phrasing. Pretty sure melody covers more, but that is how it stuck in my mind.
Nobody talks about countertune, tunic minor, klangfarbentune, C tune saxophone…
Or ‘my Luve’s like the tune, That’s sweetly play’d in melodie.’
Shorter than toga major?
Yep, I’d thought of the possible implications!
Well, I got this from the MIT Admissions website, so apparently there must indeed be a program for your toga major:
