ST GEORGE'S DAY.

Post by Lena & Harry Smith » Mon Apr 23, 2007 8:38 am

How about a little patriotism with some flag waving or connecting songs to celebrate ST GEORGE'S DAY today. :D
Here's the first " Land Of Hope And Glory"

A great song "Jerusalem" Marian, has often been suggested for our National Anthem.
Here's another, "THERE'LL ALWAYS BE AN ENGLAND" :lol:

A VERY HAPPY ST GEORGE'S DAY EVERYONE!!
Can't think of another England song apart from "Three Lions"! so I'll go with at least a part of England that is dear to many of us, and was especially to our Matt - "MAYBE IT'S BECAUSE I'M A LONDONER" :lol: :lol:

Happy St. George's Day everyone.

The only song I can think of is "Hey there Georgie Girl" which I think Matt covered on one of his CD's.

How shall we all celebrate this wonderful day!
I think that dragons are rarer than hens teeth today aren't they?! :lol:
Instead of beating up dragons today let's celebrate the day with a toast to the great St. George - long may he remain our patron saint of England. :D :wink:

Happy St George's Day! I will suggest the following that always take me to England.

The Spirit of England -- Elgar's choral masterpiece

Country Gardens -- Grainger


I didn't know it was St George's Day, or I would have brought special English CDs with me. I particularly love a CD which is a tribute to the Queen Mother. Instead I brought show tunes, since I'm playing for a theatre fundraiser this evening. When I get home, I'll play Elgar's Enigma Variations and the Queen Mother tribute CD.

Paul's entry has reminded me of "AN ENGLISH COUNTRY GARDEN" :lol: :lol:
Where are you Paul, are you over here, or away from home somewhere else in the U.S. at the moment?? :?: :?: :?:

I think we are talking about the same song. It was written by Percy Grainger and I believe someone added lyrics later.

I'm in Washington. I usually don't have access to a computer on most weekends, so that's why I'm usually not on the forum on Saturday and Sunday. I missed a lot of activity this weekend!
