Remember the lost Dads and start bringing peace in the world.
The Father Day edition is for all the Children who never had a dad because he never came back.
Eric Bogle is great fine Austrailian Folk Singer and Wikipedia has a great bio here so why rewrite it again. Now I have to admit my first post of this messed up two of his great songs... Audrey is covering a song Eric weaved into the the national anthem Waltzing Matilda about some of the real fruits of a war.
When I originally posted this song a few days ago, I was thinking about was another of his best-known songs, No Man's Land , is also World War I-themed. This song is commonly known as "The Green Fields of France", a title it was first given by The Fureys, and which has subsequently been used in a lot of further cover versions. The song refers to the traditional Scottish song "Flowers of the Forest" being played over the grave of a World War I soldier
Of course I needed to give you another reason to hear and understand my re-write of the Flowers of the Forest.
The whole story behind my lyrics is here.
I heard them laughing, at the sun’s setting
Young girls giggling before the dawn of day.
Now they are sobbing on green grass a growing
The flowers of the forest are laying to rest.
Once they had futures, and love a waiting.
Fathers and Mothers, a life to enjoy.
Then came the call, a service to them all.
A noble cause written, they stood tall and proud.
I heard them laughing, at the sun’s setting
Young girls giggling before the dawn of day.
Now they are sobbing on green grass a growing
The flowers of the forest are laying to rest.
Midnight songs a playing, shots and beer flowing
Smiles all a plenty, til the night is done.
Xcept for the lady, the moon cold and lonely
Thoughts of her flower, are growing inside.
Justice for the lowly, help for the helpless.
Brothers and sisters, a hand to them all.
Now there is silence, though debate rages loudly
These flowers of the forest, victims to the gall.
I heard them laughing, at the sun’s setting
Young girls giggling before the dawn of day.
Now they are sobbing on green grass a growing
The flowers of the forest are laying to rest.
Now go out there are reconcile with your enemy... why don't you spare a life today in the name of God!

Clinch Mountain Prayer by Audrey Auld
I know I will someday host this wonderful Austrailian singer who now lives in Nashville. She has family about 1 1/2 away from me... so YES... I'll get to see Audrey Auld live someday. I guess I better have some Rye Whiskey available.
I found Audrey through Concerts in Your Home... another great organization.

Tonight we have three beautiful ladies
One silent for 15 seconds..Audrey Auld who did it for a promotion and a challenge for a 15 seconds of fame.
The second is Rachel Pearl. She's from my alter-ego tastes who would love to go jazz clubs, dressed in my finest suit, and drink martinis. One of these days I'll share one of my top ten favorite songs, Boz Scaggs, Sail on White Moon... or something like that. This is a cool interview and live cuts from Rachel.
And of course my regular, Allison Sattinger in a cover of Madonna's Borderline
