If you had told me someone had adapted "Tom Dooley" as testcard music I would have guessed it would have sounded unintentionally funny..but, surprise! is sounds pretty good (I won't be deleting the Kingston Trio's version from my collection, however :-)
Remember this well - takes me back more than 40 years. Baion Serenade (and the piece that followed, a cha-cha I think) first appeared on another tape a couple of years earlier, with others in the same rhythm. Have you anything from 1957-59?
Had Lonnie Donegan singing this on a Pye "Golden Hour" LP in the early seventies.

A version of Tom Dooley also featured at the end of BELLE CANON in 1979.

Baion Serenade and the "cha-cha" track after it did indeed appear on the older "Morro Morenito" tape (1959-1961).
