Paratroopers of the 50's constantly gets E-mails asking for old Airborne songs such as "Blood on the Risers", "Beautiful Streamer" etc. So we have done our best to put together a CD of what we feel are the cream of Airborne songs plus some other songs, we Troopers of the 50's loved for $10.00 which covers the production cost and includes the shipping. We can ship an additional CD at the same time for only $5.00 14 of the songs on this CD where cut about 40 years ago. Most were taken from a 78 RPM record purchased at Ft. Benning around 59-60, The cadence songs and the 1990 version of "BOR" are the only recent ones. We added Fraulein , and Gesiha Girl to get everyone in trouble with their wives . We also added a 1990's version of "Blood on the Riser". The new version has a different sound than the old version; sounds like the new boys are more in touch with their Female side. Had to added Danny Boy for all my "Irish" buddies - but made sure it was sung by an Italian "Mario Lanza". You know these days you have to be Political Correct. Ballad Of The Green Beret and Letter From Vietnam is done by Sgt. Barry Sadler . Here's a list of the songs :          1- Jumpmaster Instructions & 18th Abn March 2- Beautiful Streamer 3- 11th Abn Div - Down from Heaven 4- 82nd Abn the All American Div. 5- 101st Abn Div. the Screaming Eagles 6- Paratrooper's Marching Song 7- Blood on the Risers - 50's, 60's version 8- Blood on the Risers - 1990's version 9- The Army goes rolling along 10- Running Cadence - Jumpschool 11- Airborne Ranger Running Cadence 12- Ballad Of The Green Beret 13- Letter From Vietnam 14- Green Beret to Friendly Aircraft (FAC) 15- Fraulein 16- Geisha Girl 17- Paratroopers Lament 18- Danny Boy 19- Star Spangled Banner Ps, you can get the words to a lot of these songs from our song page.
