Thanks, Dan. I have heard that song since it came out and did not know the connection to Bach, who I also love. My mom, who died last year, would have been 101 today. Bob Sprague
Bach didn’t write the tune, but did many different settings of it. Required study in harmony classes.
We heard it in church one Sunday. I hope you are enjoying good memories of your mother today. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_OBbjAfVrI
