For a remarkable people who have had a major influence on this world for the last 5 centuries. And some of them are regular readers of this blog.
God save our gracious Queen,
Long live our noble Queen,
God save the Queen:
Send her victorious,
Happy and glorious,
Long to reign over us:
God save the Queen.

Land Of My Fathers-Katherine Jenkins
The Welsh national anthem - Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau or Land Of Our Fathers. Good to see good people celebrating their national heritage. Plus, she is such a looker and sings well too.Never knew the Welsh language was so widespread on the British Isles.
Shifting gears here. A different yet similar culture. A song about the hardships of being a coal miner in Kentucky. Complete with with great historical photos.
Where the sun comes up about ten in the mornin'
And the sun goes down about three in the day
And you'll fill your cup with whatever bitter brew you're drinkin'
And you spend your life just thinkin' of how to get away

Dolly sings of a much better life in her Tennessee Mountain Home:
In my Tennessee mountain home
Life is as peaceful as a baby's sigh
In my Tennessee mountain home
Crickets sing in the fields near by

Winds of Yesterday, Boxcar Willie
A classic country song by a classic country singer. Not the crossover trash that they call country music today.

Long Black Veil, Don Walser
Country classic written in the early 1950s when standards of honor were much different than today. And ole Don can really wail out those high notes.
She walks these hills, in a long black veil.
She visits my grave, when the night winds wail.
Nobody knows, nobody sees, nobody knows, but me

Another classic example of 1950s standards of honor.
