John McDermott -The Green Fields of France 2023

John's wish is that a moment is spared by all to reflect and remember those who gave themselves freely and unsparingly to the terrible conflicts of the world.
From Wiki: "No Man's Land" (also known as "The Green Fields of France" or "Willie McBride") is a song written in 1976 by Scottish-born Australian folk singer-songwriter Eric Bogle, reflecting on the grave of a young man who died in World War I. He said: "It's a song that was written about the military cemeteries in Flanders and Northern France.
This recording of the song features Jason Fowler on Guitar, Mark Lalama on Piano and Drew Jurecka on Violin. The band performed the song twice at the same studio and were so consistent we were able to cut between them. Thank you for watching.
In Flanders Fields by JOHN McCRAE
In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie, In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields.
