From the WW1 set at the 2007 West Coast Ragtime Festival, singer Ann Gibson enters with her Doughboys as pianist Frederick Hodges plays "It's a Long Way to Tipperary" (1912) before breaking into a song from 1915, "America, I Love You," which soon would be used as a rallying song as America entered the war.

Hodges and Gibson perform together regularly in the San Francisco Bay area, and Hodges solo also. Please visit http://www.frederickhodges.com for their performance schedules and information on recordings that are available.

  • goodsong - thaks for lettin me know about it! - never heard it before... i knew long ways to tipperary though!

  • This song is one of the highpoints in the 1940 Tin Pan Alley film with Alice Faye, John Payne and Jack Oakie. Very livey beat amd I think it should be played over and over!

  • Aww... a school play but with grown ups! America is cute! ...if a little backward.

  • I love it! 5 Stars !
