If it isn't already playing, play the song in the player at the top of this post. It's a Kilbrannan song called A Simple Man. It's the story of a young man who goes off to war, following "Bonnie Prince Charlie" in the Jacobite uprising of 1745. It was an unsuccessful attempt to claim the British Throne and, predictably, ended disastrously for those fighting in it, including the farmer's Son of the song. Yet, it became, as these stories do, the stuff of songs and is remembered that way.]]> http://gritzmacher.net/2011/11/veterans-day/
