Navy WAR Songs


Anchors Away

Bell Bottom Trousers

Filipino Baby (** 1995 Version by David Brinkman)

** Back when I was still a musician, I did this for my Wife (who is Filipino) and my Dad. When my parents traveled with me to the Philippines in 1993, my Dad recalled this song from 1946 and even remembered the words. It took me a couple of years to locate an original recording. After that, I decided to do my own version.
