After a break of a week or so here is another song from the man-shed.
Today I am singing my favourite song in my mother tongue.
No, it's not anything by Burns or The Corries. Nor is it Flower of Scotland.
It's a song by the wonderfully gifted Scottish songwriter and poet, the late Hamish Henderson.
And it's about Sicily during World War 2.
I hope you will also enjoy the audio recording of the great man explaining the origin of the song and the video I put together to go with the song.
