The Enduring Music Of Remembrance Day On Canadian Radio
I never really thought about it, but there are certain songs that are redolent of Remembrance Day and chances are you may hear a few of them on Nov. 11th.
Some are contemporary and recent ("Highway of Heroes" by the Trews) while others evoke the era of WWII ("We'll Meet Again" by Vera Lynn.)
Some have already made their presence known - John Moore began his morning show on Wednesday by playing a snippet of the Trews classic.
It's a list I'd never considered and it was put together by The Bay 88.7, in Muskoka.

The Last Post and We'll Meet Again are the only tunes I recognize. I am not at all familiar with any of the others or the artists that performed them.

I remember CHUM-FM playing Dire Straits' Brothers In Arms, Gord James reading In Flanders Fields and, IIRC, a moment of silence at 11/11/11.
