“Let Them In” by John Gorka. Lyrics written in 1942 by Elma Dean - a poem lamenting fallen soldiers. Set to music in 2001 by John Gorka. My tribute to the fallen as the US honors Memorial Day. No politics, just a prayer…

Well played, particularly as you got a little further into the song. Your vocal was good too: you believed in what you were singing; you reminded me of Rod McKuen. Well done!

Brian,
Thank you! I’ve a couple more days to smooth it out before playing at an open mic.
The song IS very personal - I served for 21 years and have friends - brothers - who didn’t come home; all of us came home changed. This is for them.

PS _ i’ve NEVER been compared to Rod McKuen!

You’ll love the OM if you haven’t done one it’s a fun experience.

Very poignant lyrics Louis. You performed the song in a heartfelt manner. Very moving. And yes you got better as you found your rhythm.
