US Army Cover for Lightfoot

[Martin/12]

OK, this may be the most unusual cover of In the Early Morning Rain ever.

Go to Itunes and check out this artist: Marching to Cadence with the US Army Special Forces

Next Massey will be in May - I'm ready for it..
Not so much in November, altho I did make the trek from the hotel to the jams/Massey/shopping many times over the course of 4 days this past November...

I am not 'fond' of the lyrics at all... not at all.

I don't think GL would necessarily object to the members of the armed forces "using" one of his songs in this manner as he has supported the troops. Also remembering the lyrics from Don Q:

Gordon Lightfoot wrote those lyrics you quote ... that's the difference to me.

Whether he'd object or not is unknown, regardless of his support for the troops.
