Bang The Drum Slowly

Recorded and video'd remotely during 2020 COVID-19 quarantine. Featuring Lisa O'Kane with Craig T. Fall on guitar and background vox. Me in my dining room and Craig in his home studio 20 miles away. I do not own the rights to this song.

[@jimparks1102]

Such a great cover. Can't be an easy song to sing. Your version reminds me so much of my father and, thus, brings tears to my eyes. God bless you for your incredible voice.

[@fishcampbabe]

Thank you so much Jim!

[@Marieluise5491]

Ich bin seit langem ein Fan von Emmylou Harris. Der Song hat mich in der Originalversion stark beeindruckt. Aber diese Aufnahme mit Lisa O´Kane und Craig T. Fall übertrifft alles. Die Stimme, die eindringliche Begleitung mit der Gitarre geht durch Mark und Bein. Ich bin jetzt ein Fan von beiden.

[@fred1barb]

Best version of this song! Your interpretation evokes I think exactly the mix of feelings one may have after the death of father who served in combat as a pilot or crew. It calls out to all of us who flew in combat and to those who loved and cared for us. This old pilot thanks you.

[@fishcampbabe]

Thank you for the compliment Ed. Producer/guitar player in the video, Craig T. Fall always comes up with a different vibe when I record a cover song.. That way it makes the song my own and not a copy of Emmylou who also was my #1 for the longest time. I've recorded a few of her songs (as well as my own) and have 3 cds out.. You can find me on iTunes or any other streaming program.. Or feel free to go to www.reverbnation.com/lisaokane. Thank you again!

Wow Lisa, ich höre diesen song von Emmylou zum ersten mal in deiner version und deiner tollen stimme und der Gitarre von Craig. Mein gott, fantastic!!! Ich hab sofort deinen Kanal abonniert,um noch mehr von euch zu hören. In deiner version bekomme ich nicht immer nasse Augen, wie bei Emmylou. :) Mich rührt dieser song, nun auch in deiner Version, immer wieder an,vorallendingen, wenn man die Bilder dazu sieht, die einen Teil dieses ganzen Leids zeigen. Seit 80 Jahren halten amerikanische Soldaten ihren kopf für andere hin, weil die Politik es nicht hinkriegt, und das Leid für die Angehörigen nimmt kein Ende! Wieder mussten Soldaten, gerade erst vor 3 Tagen, sterben in Afghanistan. Also,herzlichen Glückwunsch nochmal zu diesem tollen cover,es ist mindestens genauso gut wie das original und ich werde in Zukunft immer beide hören!!!

[@fishcampbabe]

Hi Holli. Thank you so much for your moving words. (I used the computer translator). My daughter is dating a Marine who did three tours of Afghanistan and the atrocities of war that he told us about will remain in my mind forever. He was on the front lines as a Gunnery Sergeant. The horrific events of the past few days are beyond atrocious and once again, my future son in law, as does the rest of the United States, mourns his fallen comrades.
