May Luke and Ronnie rest in peace.....

This is a song dedicated to all of our Aussie friends here.....

Ronnie singing "Waltzing Matilda." What a poignant and sad song for your country and our world.

Two very fine songs, Kathy. I know them both well. Love Ronnie Drew's voice.

"And the Band Played Waltzing Matilda" is about Gallipoli. Here's the original - Aussies get kind of emotional about it.
