29 May 99 - 07:16 PM (#82716) Subject: RE: Forever Flies The Red, White And Blue From: Banjer Sounds like Elton Britt's "There's A Star Spangled Banner Flying Somewhere". I haven't checked the DT yet. |

29 May 99 - 10:08 PM (#82764) Subject: RE: Forever Flies The Red, White And Blue From: Banjer Perhaps this is what you are looking for. It is from 1942 and will have all the information on the authors as well. Incidently I found this through a search engine known as Dog Pile and it lead me to the OLGA, On Line Guitar Archives and these particular lyrics were submitted by our own Joe Offer! Go Here for those that prefer to access by typing in use this. http://www.groovin.org/Olga/cowpie/b/britt_elton/star_spangled_banner_waving.lyr |

29 May 99 - 10:18 PM (#82766) Subject: RE: Forever Flies The Red, White And Blue From: Joe Offer Well, durn, Banjer, I'm glad you posted the link and all, but I don't think that's the the song. I can hear the song in my head, but it's not coming to me. If I recall, that's the last line of the song, and there are two notes on "red." I wonder if Chitown can come back and give us some more. I'm thinking maybe the song is "It's a Grand Old Flag." -Joe Offer, off searching- |

29 May 99 - 10:39 PM (#82772) Subject: Lyr Add: YOU'RE A GRAND OLD FLAG (George M. Cohan) From: Joe Offer Well, darn. It's not this one, either. YOU'RE A GRAND OLD FLAG George M. Cohan, 1906 You're a grand old flag, You're a high flying flag And forever in peace may you wave. You're the emblem of The land I love. The home of the free and the brave. Ev'ry heart beats true 'neath the Red, White and Blue, Where there's never a boast or brag. Should auld acquaintance be forgot, Keep your eye on the grand old flag. You're a grand old flag, You're a high flying flag And forever in peace may you wave. You're the emblem of The land I love. The home of the free and the brave. Ev'ry heart beats true 'neath the Red, White and Blue, Where there's never a boast or brag. Should auld acquaintance be forgot, Keep your eye on the grand old flag. |

29 May 99 - 11:27 PM (#82790) Subject: Lyr Add: COLUMBIA, THE GEM OF THE OCEAN From: Joe Offer Not this one, either, but I think it's the one I had in my head. -Joe Offer- COLUMBIA, THE GEM OF THE OCEAN words: D.T. Shaw tune: Thomas a Becket Believed to have been written in 1843. O Columbia, the gem of the ocean, The home of the brave and the free, The shrine of each patriot's devotion, A world offers homage to thee. Thy mandates make heroes assemble When war winged its wide desolation With the garlands of vict'ry around her, The star-spangled banner bring hither, May the service, united, ne'er sever, Note: Saint Thomas a Becket, the Archbishop of Canterbury, died in 1170. Not the same guy. |

31 May 99 - 07:20 PM (#83073) Subject: RE: Forever Flies The Red, White And Blue From: chitown23 I've learned that the writer of the song's music and lyrics was James Tortorello of the 203rd Combat Engineers (Normandy, the Bulge, et al). The song was published in 1942 and I've obtained lyrics; still need music...? Thanks! |

31 May 99 - 08:38 PM (#83079) Subject: RE: Forever Flies The Red, White And Blue From: Joe Offer Hi, Chitown - a number of us spent quite a bit of time to find the song for you, but didn't have any luck. How 'bout sharing the lyrics with us? If we have more than just a title, we might be able to come up with a tune. Thanks. -Joe Offer- |
