about

My own original folk arrangement of The Star Spangled Banner.

I recorded a demo of it a few months back for potential inclusion on the last MARMO album, but it didn't quite fit the format. Since then I've been playing it live and am quite fond of it.

So, here I am on coronavirus lockdown with a home studio in the basement. What better way to fill some time than to film myself putting together an official recording and releasing it as a single?

I hope you dig it.

lyrics

Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

Sometimes I sing to my chickens. ... more
