Subject: Peat Bog Soldiers From: Melbert Date: 20 Oct 99 - 11:41 AM Can anyone give me some background on this song, which I've heard on a number of albums by various artistes, but never understood? |
Subject: RE: Peat Bog Soldiers From: Wolfgang Date: 20 Oct 99 - 12:12 PM Mel, more information (perhaps all you want) in an older thread: here Wolfgang |
Subject: RE: Peat Bog Soldiers From: Melbert Date: 20 Oct 99 - 12:45 PM Wolfgang - Thanks for that. You were right - it was very informative. |
Subject: RE: Peat Bog Soldiers From: WyoWoman Date: 20 Oct 99 - 11:12 PM I just heard this song for the first time on the tape Big Mick sent me by the Black Family. Wonderful song, and I'm so happy to have this background on it. Thanks, WW |
Subject: RE: Peat Bog Soldiers From: Reiver 2 Date: 21 Oct 99 - 01:50 PM Thanks for the definitive background on this song. I first learned it back in the '50s, I think, maybe earlier. I'm not sure where I first heard it -- perhaps Pete Seeger, or Odetta -- though I think it was on a record with some Spanish Civil War songs (Freiheit!, Viva la Quince Brigada, Los Cuatro Generales, etc.) The only note I have is "German concentration camp song -- political prisoners." Haven't heard the song for many years, so this thread and the information are much appreciated!
Thanks. -Joe Offer- |
