1942 Bob Chester - Keep The Home-Fires Burning (Rhythm Airies, vocal)

[@mcareyop]

My mother had this record, and I've played it many, many times.

[@georgecripe4898]

Thanks for posting one of my favorite WW2 songs. I have this record, but yours sounds so much better. Another Chester tune "Strictly Instrumental " is a killer arrangement.

[@the78prof72]

You're most welcome! I remember as a kid that my dad's 78 collection included that great Chester recording of "Strictly Instrumental" rather than the more popular Harry James version.

Isn’t this a ww1 song? Well it applies to any conflict that has drafting i guess

[@aarongoodall5870]

@@SPasta69420 This is a WW2 cover... remix(?) of the original WW1song. You can hear them reference the first war at 1:57 when they sing: "just like we did once before".

Interesting, I've been doing some research on Chester this is the first I've heard of the Rhythm Aires.

Surprised this song never made it to Fallout

[@tardarsauce1842]

This song is a *British patriotic WW1 song* , so I think it would be unusual to hear a WW1 song in radio set in post-apocalyptic America devastated by nuclear fallout

[@augustuswaddle469]

@@tardarsauce1842 well this version is from 1942 and most of the music in the games is from 1930s and 40s so it's not unreasonable

This is an awful version of a song that is full of pathos, honour and a sense of duty. Like putting a clown's nose on a bust of Washington.
