Songs of the War Years |
The CD, with 28 songs, opens with It's a Long Way To Tipperary
and Pack Up Your Troubles and the listener is swept up into an adventure of wartime music. The antics of basic training are relived in songs like
Bless 'Em All, This is the Army Mr. Jones and You'll Get Used To It.
All The Nice Girls Love A Sailor, pays tribute to the Canadian sailors of World War II.
The CD features a number of specific air force Squadron Songs, and Comin' In On A Wing and A Prayer.
The music of the British pub, the barracks, and the battlefield offer the listener a glimpse of how young men were able, for a brief time, to forget the realities of war, drink, meet people, and sing around a piano while they waited to ship out to unknown destinations.
From the gaiety of the Pub songs to quiet serious moments, the songs of romance are presented including the famous
A Nightingale Sang In Berkley Square.
The patriotic songs of wartime Britain are represented by the well-known songs of
The White Cliffs of Dover and There'll Always Be an England.
The CD also features Lilli Marlene.
In keeping with the tradition of all 440 presentations the CD ends with We'll Meet Again
and Wish Me Luck. The experience of listening to the songs of the war years is one that will leave a listener humming tunes and remembering the unforgettable songs of the war years.
