Some lucky day

Okay, I’ve been thinking some about the 70^th anniversary of the end of the Second World War. And I’ve been listening to some music from that era, just…because.

Vera Lynn was perhaps the iconic British songbird of the 1940s. Her “The White Cliffs of Dover”, “A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square” and “There’ll Always Be an England” earned her the sobriquet of the “Forces’ Sweetheart” during the war.

Remember—this was the era when radio was what tied people together across distances.

Anyhow, I have several of her recordings, so I’m going to share one that must have meant the world to soldiers at the front and families back home.
