Thread Name: Green Fields of France
Subject: RE: Green Fields of France
Hi, Mick - I have two Eric Bogle CD's (Scaps of Paper & I Wrote This Wee Song) and one Peter Paul & Mary CD (Flowers & Stones) that call it "No Man's Land." Come to think of it, I've also got recordings of the song by Priscilla Herdman and June Tabor, who also call it "No Man's Land." Gawd, it's almost as omnipresent as "From a Distance" once was.
I swear I've also seen it recorded as "Green Fields of France," but I can't find it now.
Good song, but I have trouble singing the high parts. People say I sing a good tenor, but that song is just too damn high. I don't really think it's in Bogle's range, either.
