Don Cherry’s “Band of Gold” is a compromise. Don sounds like he’s trying … wait a minute. I just discovered this fact: “Don was and is the only person in history to have had a hit million-seller record, 'Band of Gold,' on the hit parade and also to have finished in the Top Ten in the U.S. Open in golf.” Well, now it makes a lot more sense. Don’s overvocalization here must result from his yelling “Fore!” And I’ll need to give the US a mulligan for the wedding synecdoche of the lyrics. Alright… I’ll leave him alone now.
