It's now dated as a contemporary tune, but Billy's cover of 'Think Again'
which highlights the Russian contribution to WWII is quite a moving song. It
also indicates the mistrust of the 'other' and what the cold war was all about.
It's on the 'Reaching to the Converted' CD.
There's also 'Rumours of War' and 'Everywhere' (from Don't Try This At
Home'), the former about the build up to war and the second about two soldiers
from different cultures fighting side by side; 'My Youngest Son Came Home Today'
(from 'The Internationale'), about death and conflict; or even 'Between the
Wars', which gives an indication of life between WWI and WWII and how
returning soldiers were treated.

Hey everyone . . .
I am looking for some appropriate (yet not lame) music for our
Remembrance Day ceremony this week (I am a teacher by the
way). Does anyone have any suggestions . . . Braggy or
otherwise???
thanks and I hope everyone is well!
