This piece is based on the poem by John McCrae, a Canadian army doctor, who wrote these lines in the spring of 1915 while serving at the front during the terrible battle of Ypres. For more information about the poem, and John McCrae, follow the link to Rob Ruggenberg's fascinating site on the Great War: The Heritage of the Great War : In Flanders Fields
The track had its radio premiere on 13th Nov 2005 on 98.5 YOUR FM in Ontario, Canada - the same area where John McCrae was born & grew up. Many thanks to DJ Spaceman Stan & also for the great show - Adventures in Plasticland
The Zing is a Studio Music Project between a bunch of musos who've been
jamming together on & off for over 20 years.
On guitars & vocals - Fingers.
On KB, vocals & drums - Steve Sharp.
Other musicians come & go as the wind.
At some unspecified time in the future we'd like to "put the band together" - and get out on the road.
Till then we hone our art - & our appetite for perfection & experience - in the studio.
In this Brave New World of the twenty-first Century.
If you like our music please come back to our site again - new tracks will be added in the future as we complete.
