Unknown 89-key Fair Organ Song
By Bill Nunn

Hello,  Several years ago I bought several hundred meters of book music
from England.  The books had been well-used and most had no covers and
were missing sections.  We have edited and punched 400 meters so far
and are now doing the harder pieces.  Here is what [music editor]

Peter Mackett has been very helpful identifying most of the other tunes.
Here is what he said:

> Hi Bill,  Again, it's not a tune I have ever heard before but

If anyone recognizes this tune it would be helpful.

Thanks,
