Summary
The contributor talks, in English, about how he composed songs about Nuremberg and Arnhem to enlighten people. He felt the Nuremberg trials unnecessary. He speaks about his difficulty with English. There were many songs he never finished. He tells why he never composed satirical verse.
He composed his first major song, sung here, after the war - it was published in 'An Gàidheal' and was about the Second World War. He began to compose in earnest after that.
