My grandfather and father played the uke. There was always one sitting near the couch. I picked it up around age 11, which was over 60 years ago. Later I learned guitar and banjo. I can still play a few hours of 30’s and 40’s music, including this song, on my uke that sits by the couch…
I don't have any proof, but I imagine there's a lot of elderly fans in the crowd, which sorta warms my heart. (I'm somewhere in the middle at 30 something or other lol.)
In this tune Josh & Allison remind me of a great romantic duet scene from the movie The Jerk with Steve Martin & Bernadette Peters where they are in love and are strolling a beach at night singing an old pop tune from 1926 'Tonight You Belong to Me' where Steve plays a ukulele accomp. and Bernadette plays a solo chorus on a cornet! (Correct fingerings, timing & embouchure, but for a key 1/2 step down from the movie soundtrack...hmmm...but I always thought it was a great cutesy scene...prob because I play the trumpet...!?)
Haha! I love Josh and Allison's version, but I have to work hard to detach this song from memories of Vera Lynn singing it at Remembrance Day commemorations and my father's RAF Bomber Command reunions.
@@davidlogan7216 No problem. I come from the same period and learned that all you need to do is "duck and cover." It must be true because the school showed me a film to do that. I always figured it was a multi purpose defense against earthquakes, tornados, armed insurrections, whatever. That's why I always keep one of those old school desks nearby at all times.
@@trainliker100 Is it strange that I laughed at your reply. Time to find me one of those desks on Craig's List. Thanks. So you must have had to deal with the Missiles of October too.
Love to hear you do this song, but you made one grave error! On the last chorus you should have opened up for the audience to join in! Their all singing it in their minds anyway. Watch any Vera Lynn version and you'll hear it.
As a older Brit just wonderful to hear these two young Americans playing this World War II classic. It means a lot to Brits.
Wonderful thank you from Yorkshire England
You all make us all happy.
Brilliant job done by these two VERY talented artists. We'll done from England.
Beautiful!
They're sweet... and talented!

These two are something special. I hope to travel to Nashville to see them soon.
Wow! Allison has such a classic and well modulated voice. Such talent😊
Great WW2 song by Vera Lynn!
Very nice🤗❣️
classics will never go out of style.
you have great music
Vera's smiling!

Love this, great oldie
Fantastic!!
Gracias!
This song still scares the YKW out of me! I heard it the first time at the end of "Dr. Strangelove.. " I picture Slim Pickins riding an A-Bomb
wonderful

Remarkably good sound quality for what seems to be a bootleg recording
Goooood !
When will they come to Germany? If ever....
Even with these bad acoustics, Allison just nails it and sounds great.
Oh good, it wasn't just me.
Very nice arrangement and performance of a classic WW2 tune, but it's hard to disassociate it from "Dr. Strangelove"😎

It makes me thing of THIS version of White Cliffs: ua-cam.com/video/YUx3MU9iM6c/v-deo.html
I watched Dr. Strangelove in the Cromwell High School auditorium in June 1965. Those were scary times back then.

Some of my requests, 😆
While my guitar gently weeps. George Harrison
Wild Horses and Angie. Rolling Stones
Windmills of your Mind. Michele Legrand
this is so darn good. It's too bad the sound wasn't clearer. Imagining it with better sound. ❤️
We must not allow a mine-shaft gap!
Thanks for the Dr Strangelove reference! This song crops up in lots of other places too, of course.

Only Vera Lynn has done it better … but without ginger curls ❤
You sure? It seems like you've got a lot going for you.
My god -- you're changes are SO wrong! I love you guys, though. (D, F#7, B7b13!)
Oh, thank you; wrong chords drive me crazy - “where” is soooo wrong
