I too will listern to one of my favorite track the Dubliners have ever recorded
"And the band played Waltzing Matilda."

Happy ANZAC day

I spent half the day doing the dawn service,listening to Redgum's "Only 19" (otherwise known as "A walk in the light green", & a particularly moving song with personal meaning) and weeping quietly to myself. However, all good now

The aforementioned John Williamson (www.malleeboy.com) also does a great song, Diggers of the ANZAC, about the filming of the movie Gallipoli at Port Lincoln SA. Williamson wanted to remind the extras playing the Diggers that their role was important and that they were helping to preserve the story of ANZAC.
