Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Young Jimmy in Flanders
FromAndy M Stewart - Fire in the Glen

(Words and Music: Andy M. Stewart) Andy wrote this song for his grandfather, who, as young piper, was forced to endure the horror and lunacy that was the First World War. Somehow, thankfully, he survived. The song is in the form of a conversation between the recruiting officer, the piper, and his wife. It was inspired by the traditional song, Will Ye Go To Flanders?
