Christmas in the Trenches - history & John McCutcheon song
Here's an email reply I just sent to a friend (and lots of others) that seems quite fitting for today:Hi all:Thanks to Brian for this inspiring message; a quick postscript...The song being referred to in the Rense article is probably "Christmas in the Trenches" by John McCutcheon, a wonderful folksinger I've heard several times over the years on KVMR (http://www.kvmr.org) concerts in Nevada City... It gets a lot of play on that wonderful radio station... I don't think I've ever heard it without getting rather misty-eyed ...I'm listening to it now as I write this and the misty tradition continues HappyI think the deep emotional appeal of this song arises from the soul level realization that WE ARE ALL ONE, and living with the golden rule in our hearts is really all that ultimately matters (and the perspective that transcends our struggles & battles, be they on a personal, family or global level).Here's are the lyrics (and a link to more history):
