WWI Triptych. from Mixed Cargo by Tom Lewis
F.I.R.E.- FIRE! (0:38) Words and music: Untraceable, arr.: Tom Lewis
I never noticed the 'Peace Bonus' we were all promised, but we've had songs like these around for a long time to remind us that we can rise above conflict. The first is from John Prince's Mum. The others are from my very own 'oral tradition'.
Keep the Homefires Burning (2:42) Words: Lena Guilbert Ford, music:Ivor Novello
Goodbye Dolly Gray (2:01) Words: Will D. Cobb, music: Paul Barnes

I am rubbish at ‘blowing my own trumpet’ (he said, modestly). However; one publication said:
‘After 24 years at sea; Tom's repertoire—from traditional shanties to songs fashioned out of his own seafaring background—recruits his audience for a voyage by turns reflective, dramatic and humorous; with songs that have become folk standards; known and sung wherever great choruses ring out.’
