Debroy Somers Band - #58, 60-63
Per 'John Peel' all (5) of these songs s/b combined as they are known as 'It'sA Lovely War Medley'. The songs are: 'Never Mind', 'Sister Susie Sewing Shirts For Soldiers', 'Here We Are Again', 'Army Of Today's Alright' & 'We Haven't Seen the Kaiser'. Just listened to this (7) minute Medley on YouTube.
That looks correct, data fixed, thanks

The proper title of this song is simply Keep the Home Fires Burning. The othertitle is a completely different song written about 1925 and recorded my numerous jazz artists including your listing by Clara Smith.
The two titles are similar enough to get confused, that is why they are listed together, see the FAQ entry

# 14 & 16
These two are the same recording. Alice Green was an alternate name for OliveKline on the recordings she made with Harry MacDonough. It was released as Victor 35491.
Data fixed, thanks

Jazz Roots - The Songs of 1915
Most of these songs were featured on KSDS 88.3 FM, San Diego. Lou Curtiss' "Jazz Roots Show" songs that would've been popular during the 1915 San Diego-Panama Exposition. One of the best acoustic shows of all time. April 12, 2015. Could still be heard in their archive (speakeasy). Grab it while its hot.
We love you, you're your own grandpa!
