Either this is the fusion of two songs - "the Nightingale" and "on the banks of red roses", or their is a different song that the above is part of. Can anyone shed some light please? |

Nothing necessarily wrong with that. I think it's actually a fusion of 'The Bold Grenadier' rather than 'The Nightingale', and 'Banks of Red Roses', though. Barbara |
