Brass bands, man's inability to fly and a tear-jerking story about homing pigeons. What's not to like?

My final jam for 2 reasons 1) It never fails to bring a tear to my eye and 2) Back in the days when I did a radio show I finished my last ever show with this song ( listen here-https://www.mixcloud.com/GoingUnderground/going-underground-22nd-april-2013-part-2/ ) so it kind of feels a fitting way to say goodbye to TIMJ.
I'm now over on Let's Loop and God's Jukebox. Same user name. See ya there

Perhaps my favourite ever song about a pigeon.
