Thank you. A most appropriate song for this holiday and excellent performance too.
"Yes Well Done Ben", a very poignant song, a big hit in it's day in the Land Down Under, my long departed father, a WW2 Returned Vet enjoyed this song, as I, a Vietnam Vet also do, I also hope and trust that your country's "Memorial Day" gets the same recognition and respect that our "Anzac Day" does in the land of Aus'
Great job Ben, g'
day and thanks for all your work Mackay,Queensland,Australia!!!!! best version of this i have heard in years!!!!

Nice Touch, Ben,bittersweet, a Scotsman's Australian song,sung by an American,emphasises that the waste and futility is universal,well done
Excellent!
Thanks guys, I am glad you enjoyed it. Nigel, The Green Fields of France was the other song that I was thinking of doing, but this one won the toss-up.
Great history, sad as war is. Enjoyed your performance!
