   Of course, there are the ‘alternate’ lyrics for Pan de Vida:

   Pancho Villa
   Terror of the West
   Pancho Villa
   Of Banditos the best!
   ….

   I’ve never seen that before! Is there more to it?

   On a side note, I was shocked by Bob Hurd’s latest CD, “Ubi Caritas” — the difference between that and his “Pan de Vida” is like night and day.

   It is not a table of plenty…it is a table of sacrifice. Why these tacky hymns? Just curious. When these come up I just clam up.

   The (lay)person who was preaching (and calls it a homily) asked for them, and I obliged. The original hymns selected were quite markedly different – I’ll put those up when I get them from work.

   I agree with you wholeheartedly that such hymns are musically tacky, and they’re not always TC (theologically correct).
