I played this little tune as it was discovered by an interesting musical expert in 1954. I was researching the cornetto and learned that the sackbut had been believed to have originated in Egypt. This was because the translators of the King James Bible could not translate the name of an instrument referred to in the Old Testament and settled for the sackbut. In fact it dates from the 15 th century/ 16 th century.

The only way I knew this phrase was from a comedy album by Brother Dave Gardner in the ‘60’s.
