Broadjam Artist: Edward Small
Song: The Holyoke Soldiers Home

Reviewer: Kate Carpenter

Positive Comments: Interesting introduction sets this song up nicely with a military theme. I like the way the drums and bugles are scattered throughout the song. Obviously a passionately sung song, giving honor where honor is due.

Constructive Comments: I would classify this song as folk, not pop. Until I looked at the lyrics, I thought you were singing Holy Old Soldiers home. I had a hard time understanding all the lyrics. It all made sense to me when I read about covid taking their lives. So sad. Nice job honoring those to whom honor is due! The bugle seemed to be in a different key than the song. I am pretty sure this can be adjusted on a computer.
