06 May 08 - 03:14 PM (#2334250) Subject: Vera Lynn ' Whose Garden Was This ' From: cptsnapper I've just been listening to Desmond Carrington's show on BBC Radio 2 and was amazed to hear a record of Vera Lynn singing Tom Paxton's song " Whose Garden was This " Absolutely astonishing both because I couldn't imagine Vera Lynn singing a Tom Paxton song and also because in my opinion it was a stunning version which made the song come alive for me. |

Gardens seem to have been a theme this evening (sadly no mention of Maggie Holland's Mr Harding). I wonder if Dame Vera was an Emergency Ward 10 fan.... Kitty |

Is the garden valley on the list (Cara Dillon with Sam Lakeman)? I saw Dame Vera at the Keukenhof in Holland some 20 years ago. She had a right old entourage with her. |

Vera Lynn is still a lovely singer and, despite her advancing years, is still fiercely loyal to "her boys" of WW2. |
