David Allen ~ 'The Green Fields of France' XIV/XII/MMXIV

David performs his favourite (and MINE too now :-)) WWI set soldier's ballad 'The Green Fields of France,' AKA: 'No Man's Land', AKA: 'Willie McBride' :-) Twas written in 1976 by Scottish lad Eric Bogle :-) We've been meaning to upload this beautiful piece since early in November, but David had to wait until things were right with his voice, as he has chest issues, and he wanted to wait until his oppo Mick Ewing was present in The Smugglers to accompany him in his honouring of the British Tommy, of which the famed Willie McBride is the epitome, AMEN :-)
'I' also had tech issues in which 'I' had to overcome, both with my Camcorder and my PC, of which MOST have been accomplished :-)
An ADMIRABLY soulful, heartfelt performance, by both David & Mick. May God Bless you BOTH lads, to the ENTH :-):-):-)x.
