Borrowed Jingle

Seven notes. Three remembered jingles. Whose tune is Ternwick humming?

A furniture shop, a bakery, and a repair business have little in common—until three listeners sing the same seven notes with three different sets of words.

At Ternwick Community Radio, preparations for an anniversary celebration have given Della an irresistible question. Who wrote the familiar tune, and how did it become part of so many ordinary days? Before the station introduces its anniversary music, she wants a story she can tell accurately, with credit where it belongs.

With Hughs careful ear and Minas practical judgment, Della follows remembered slogans into old recordings and working papers. A confident memory isnt a date, though, and a familiar sound isnt the whole story. Finding an explanation is one thing. Making room for the music itself may prove another.

Meanwhile, a piano seems to change key, unsigned dedication cards raise a quieter puzzle, and life beyond the studio still offers books, family walks, and time with Hugh. Join Della and the returning radio ensemble for a warm, fair-play mystery about the paths a tune can take—and the people who remember it.
