Just to say I've been looking at the 'Bell' psalms.  In particular the Ps8 setting to "Tramps & Hawkers" is very effective - certainly worth fitting into my list, especially as I don't have a tune for that one yet, but it has a nice lilting melody, plus coda which can be used for response. 

ps130 Out of the direst depths is set to "Southwell" another nice tune.  I've just noticed Mr Dean has included this song in Laudate, No207 (see also 204).  Just in time for Lent.   Incidentally, there is a (rather terse) apology for errors in Laudate on Page2.

ps137 seems only vaguely related to "Dunlap's Creek" but it's another nice tune the way JLB has written it (I'm basing this on my own approximation of how the tune flows) - it's also nice n easy in D.  Makes a change from the usual stuff that gets trotted out to this psalm.  In it goes.

The only howler is the first line "...of Babylon, we sat ourselves and wept"  - try singing it - teenager toilet humour factor very high here, so change to "...of Babylon, where we sat down and wept".  Otherwise fine.

ps39/40 to the tune of Amazing Grace is great, but I had to work out the guitar chords, which for some reason he doesn't provide.

ps23 my shepherd is the lord - his tune "Bonnyton" owes a lot to the more familiar setting (also a variation on New Britain/Amazing Grace?) only changing significantly for line 3, but still very singable.

So - only another 19 to learn.  My only hangup is that JLB doesn't tend to offer a 'Response', which seems quite important in our church.  Clearly with an easy tune like AG or Southwell the whole congregation could sing it (I like that idea) if the words could be copied, but I guess it wouldn't be too difficult to devise a response if needed.

... Year A is a poor year for psalms.
