How about a little patriotism with some flag waving or connecting songs to celebrate ST GEORGE'S DAY today.
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"

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"

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?!
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.

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.

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!
