Here's our take on an English traditional song.."The Blue Cockade". One of those get bribed to join the army while drunk and then leave your true love sort of occasions...
Blue [or other colour] cockades were worn on clothing or hats [often ribbons] to show the allegiance of the wearer to a cause of some sort..
I understand they were similarly used in the US as tokens of of Southern support for secession preceding the civil war 1861/5 and also during the war of Independence.
Jane and I share the vocals , J plays Roland and mandolin with me on guitar and mandocello attempting a sort of counter melody.
