@edgarblythe,
edgar, thanks again for your comment. That Scottish memory that was The Storm, reminded of this:
Jacobitism (Irish: Seacaibíteachas, Scottish Gaelic: Seumasachas) was (and, to a very limited extent, remains) the political movement in Britain dedicated to the restoration of the Stuart kings to the thrones of England, Scotland, later the Kingdom of Great Britain, and the Kingdom of Ireland. The movement took its name from Jacobus, the Latinized form of James.
Jacobitism was a response to the deposing of James II and VII in 1688 when he was replaced by his daughter Mary II jointly with her husband and first cousin William III. The Stuarts lived in exile on the European mainland after that, occasionally attempting to regain the throne with the aid of France and Spain. The primary seats of Jacobitism were Scotland, particularly the Scottish Highlands, and Ireland. In England, Jacobitism was strongest in the north, and some support also existed in Wales.
Thomas Paine.
These are the times that try men’s souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. (The Crisis, 1794) He got himself in trouble with the Jacobites as well.
Loved the music and the visuals, Texas.
Going to say goodnight with two songs.
First a surprise by Mario. This was a WWI song and has been done and redone by many.
