Insurgents Patrol

[Russ Chandler]

Picked up this on a 78 the other day. I wasn't familiar with it, but isn't it a cracking tune?

I wonder which particular set of "insurgents" he was thinking of?

Thanks Russ, 

That is a new one on me too!  It has a great bass solo then seems to fall into chaos for a while with snatches of bass and frantic treble runs :-)

Odd tune, but good all the same!

All I can think of is the Philippine Insurrection of 1899-1902. I don't think any of the similar conflicts that Britain had in the same period were called "insurrections" (populated by insurgents)...they were 'wars' (ie, Boer War, etc.)
