In honor of the anniversary of the Normandy Invasion, Jiggernaut invites you to hear a new song written by Deanna Smith Scotland. " Stand Easy, The Ballad Of Bill Millin."  During the D-Day invasion, Millin, who was Lord Lovat's personal bagpiper, was sent onto Swords beach to boost moral by playing his bagpipes. 
This song was recorded at the Live Oak Music Hall and Lounge, and was sung by Garren Bagley. This track is very raw, a board mix really, but it seemed fitting to share it with you on this day of rememberence.

"Green Grow the Rashes" Robert Burns' poem, "Green Grow the Rashes" is a very simple poem. The main theme to the poem is the praise of the female gender. Throughout the poem Burns comments on what females mean to him, and how wonderful they are. "The sweetest hours that e'er I spend, Are spent among the lasses, O. (Robert Burns)

John Prine wrote "Angel from Montgomery" after a friend suggested writing "another song about old people," referring to Prine's song "Hello in There." Although Prine had "said everything I wanted to [about seniors] in 'Hello in There'" he was intrigued by the idea of "a song about a middle-aged woman who feels older than she is...[Eventually] I had this really vivid picture of this woman standing over the dishwater with soap in her hands...She wanted to get out of her house and her marriage and everything. She just wanted an angel to come to take her away from all this." Prine believes he likely was drawn to Montgomery as the song's setting by virtue of being a fan of Hank Williams, who had ties to that city.[2] "Angel from Montgomery" is a concert staple of Hank Williams' granddaughter Holly Williams.
