Sergeant Major

Fun Facts: J came over one night and said play something on guitar. When I was done, he said play something on bass. I already had Sergeant Major in my list of hooks to write and the lyrics just flowed after that. It was a totally impromptu effort.

I was not able to serve my country like J and my other friends. I wanted to write something for those who served. I have a childhood friend who has been enlisted for decades. This is a salute to him and all the others. My thanks to my older brother for the donation of his Peavey Mantis. I finally put it to good use.: Up-tempo rock and roll with male vocals
