A Little Night Music: Roger Whittaker's Sea Ballad 'The Last Farewell'

Roger Whittaker’s The Last Farewell came out in 1971 when I was serving aboard an aircraft carrier during the Vietnam War.

The British folk singer’s powerful historical sea saga evoked time-honored naval traditions and an older time when sailors took to sea and war.
