37. The Band Played Waltzing Matilda (Eric Bogle)

very nice mate, well played, touching stuff.

Thank you.

And the Band played Waltzing Matilda remains one of the most powerful songs I've ever heard. Also one of my favorites. I'll never forget the first time I heard it. During a lecture at college. Audio was added over a very early and graphic world war 1 movie. Thank you for keeping this important song alive.

It has always been one of my favourites. A very powerful song which has special significance for Australians.

Thanks for your comment. It is indeed a great song.

Good one Raymond well sung, you inspired me to record my own version, you are singing well mate on this version, it's a hard song to sing. regards Trev

Thanks, Trev. Nice to know you actually like one of my songs. I look forward to hearing your rendition.

No mate after trying to learn it I realise you have done a sterling job and credit where credit is due. I don't think I did as well but I tried.
