I just thought I'd mention that ISB incorporated "Keep the Homefires Burning" into their war-time epic "Darling Belle" on the album "Liquid Acrobat As Regards the Air." Hopefully someone else can find you a link. Best, Margaret |

The complete text of the song may be found by going to the website (www.melodylane.net) and looking under the WWI category. There, now I can go to sleep without feeling I had posted frivolously (assuming the link works). Margaret |

(click here) Margaret V, a truelly wonderfull track (story) and one well worth a listen. It conjures all sorts of pictures (I especially like the 'laughing at loud smells' line). Cheers Gary Click here for the home page of the "When the Boys Came Home" site. -Joe Offer- |
