I love when Steyn writes about his true love - Broadway, big bands and show-tunes.
Marking.
I love those war years songs. They touched the heart for all those soldiers so far away from home giving all for what we have today. Bear that in mind when we fight for the very freedoms they fought and died for. Thanks Mark
I still tear up when I hear Vera Lynn sing this, all the years gone by
“We’ll Meet Again”
Great song! Always makes me think of “Dr. Strangelove.”
Up the Wooden Hill to Bedfordshire--Vera Lynn (1936)
"Bedfordshire" means bed and the "wooden hill" is a stairwell. Not sure what a GG is.
Someone remembers Vera Lynn...
The one I always think of, and reminds me of all the faces I can’t see anymore.
I’ll Be Seeing You
