(lyrics by Tony Downs and Cameo Castle)
Sarge was written by Tony Downs and Cameo Castle. Tony said it should be reminiscent of The Ballad Of The Green Berets, which was a #1 hit back in 1966. He asked for slide guitar, but I couldn't get it to work in this song, so it got a country twang guitar, and a military style drumbeat. Tony emailed back that it sounded just like he had hoped! Here's the scoop from Tony and Cameo:
This patriotic ditty tugs at the heartstrings of any REAL American. If you don't feel an urge to salute your nearest American flag after hearing the first verse of this song, consider yourself deported! To contact Anthony J.
