Today, #AnzacDay, seems like a good day to revisit Eric Bogle's song "The Band Played Waltzing Matilda." It's been recorded by Bogle himself, and the Pogues, and about a million other people, but to me, this will always be the One True Version of this towering #folkmusic classic.

Ah young Willie McBride, I can't help wonder why
Do those that lie here know why did they die?
And did they believe when they answered the cause
Did they really believe that this war would end wars?

Still recovering from my latest #neuro #flare, but delighted to manage nearly an hour of #accordion practice. Mainly practicing my arrangements of tunes like #EricBogle tune No Man's Land, #Aladdin live action movie's Speechless, #Despacito and #EdSheeran #Shivers. But also continuing to learn a very tricky version of #PhantomOfTheOpera, and enjoying an old favourite #Spanish Gypsy Dance and a lovely #MyFairLady medley. #Squeezebox #Music #MusicPractice #Disney #PopMusic #Musicals

Updated the computer software #SheetMusic versions of Anastasia’s Once Upon A December, Eric Bogle’s No Man’s Land, Aladdin’s Speechless, Despacito and Que Sera Sera. Just off to print out new versions to try another day. #Arranging #MusicTechnology #Squeezebox #Disney #Musicals #EricBogle

Putting an accordion arrangement of No Man's Land by Eric Bogle into a more compact lead sheet format, so I can play it without having to turn inconvenient sheets in a bulky book mid play! It is a beautiful tune by a Peebles-born Australian. #Accordion #Squeezebox #Music #SheetMusic #ScottishMusic #AustralianMusic #Scotland #Australia #WW1 #WorldWarOne #WWI #EricBogle #Peebles #ScottishBorders #History #WarHistory
