Subject: "Hot Stuff" - Melody

Congratulations on a good-looking web site. I am a member of the Fort Fraser Garrison of the 78th Fraser Highlanders, a society dedicated to the honour of the members of that regiment who served in Canada in the Seven Years War (our own website is at www.thefraserhighlanders.com).

I wonder if anyone can help us with something that should be easy to find, but has eluded us til now.

At the siege of Quebec, a popular song, "Hot Stuff" was written by Sergeant Ned Bottwood of Lascelles' Regiment, who tragically died in the failed assault at Montmorency.

The lyrics are easily accessed, but the tune is only referred to as the traditional "Lilies of France". Can anyone point me to a source for either a recording of the tune, midi file, or sheet music? Any assistance would be appreciated. We hope to have our own guard perform the song at our annual Plains of Abraham Dinner in September.
