as edgar/Mark knows one doesn't have to be a theist to enjoy religious music.

Going to say good afternoon with three songs.

First, Leonard and Judy:

Suzanne is the first Cohen song I heard, back in 1968.

Punch, (never a fan of Gladstone) comments on the spat between him and poet Algernon Swinburne.

Good morning. Mel Torme is sounding good this morning.

Happy Memorial Day from here in the USA.

edgar/Mark Mo Mary by Harry was connected to Ave Maria, right?

Hey, Pullman, I bet that man was glad that he didn't have his picture on that stone. He could have added an E to Swin and made him a pig.

My Dad was in WWI, so here are some songs from that generation:

plus a funny one

Now WWII:

More problems with my PC here. Sorry y'all.

Incidentally; My oldest sister and her husband and my brother were in WWII. That mix of music done at the same time was NOT good. They mixed up WWI and II. I'm blaming it on Windows 8.

Well, it worked this time around. Sorry for all the mistakes that were made.

I missed edgar's song by "the velvet fog". Great one.

Two more songs, then I'll shut down our radio station:

If this one has been played before, it's worth a second listen.

That refers to the buddy system in the fox holes.

I could be wrong about Mo Mary. I think it is a Scottish song.

I don't think anyone could come up with an American song related to our veterans I don't know. Of course, some smarty will come along and do it to show me up.
The next song is for the troubled veterans who have come home and not fit well into the society they fought for.

Well, edgar/Mark. There have been many mistakes made here today. (especially mine).

Loved Like A Bridge Over Troubled Waters by S. and G.

Well, we did a Vietnam tribute

Here's a tribute to Ralph Waldo Emerson whose birthday is today.

Back to Memorial day now.

First, The Air Force:

Now, the Navy:

As y'all know I like brevity.

William Tecumseh Sherman

War is Hell.

Now, The Marines:

And the Coast Guard
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UwdafOAa6YE

I just got through looking at my daddy in his WWI uniform and my brother Bill in his WWII uniform.

I was told by my oldest sister that he told my Mamma this.

"You were right, Mom, there is a god. He spoke to me and said:

Summer is ended."

He survived the death march in the Phillipines and died of cerebal malaria in a Japanese prison camp.

I wrote a brief message to him that said: I wish I could have known you before the end of summer.

Loved your Coast Guard song, edgar/Mark

Now, The Navy Hymn:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZk1n9C070s

It doesn't have to be Sunday to play that lovely song.

Here is another face of war

I wasn't certain of what Go Hide John, by red, Mark. I researched it and it seems it had to do with Vietnam.

I love this one about the navy:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Julr7EAPt8

My brother-in-law was in the tank corp and he knocked his helmet off. As he reached over to grab it, a sniper shot at him and his his shoulder. Had that not happened, he would have been shot in the head.

Blue Navy was on the radio a lot when I came home on leave.
