But the sound in the movie, with Tex Ritter's original vocals and original lyrics, has that sound that is not used in any of the other versions. I don't know if the soundtrack album is re-recorded or not. Frankie Laine and Tex Ritter both did records of it which used plain-old tom-toms. But they were talking about other versions of the song produced for sale. The closest I came was one site that claimed the drum is a tom-tom. I've searched the net relentlessly, but that doesn't mean the answer isn't out there.

It's that sound which opens the movie that I'm curious about. The song is "Do Not Forsake Me Oh My Darling," but all versions I know of except that in the movie itself are different. But the source of this sound in the movie is still a mystery to me. I know that tom-toms and bongos and other drums can be tuned with the thumb while playing them, and you can get some pretty interesting sounds out of them. I have little expertise (no, make that NO expertise) when it comes to percussion. The very first sound when the movie opens is drum-like - a tom-tom perhaps, but almost like a recording of a tom-tom running backward.
It's the sound of instruments in the soundtrack.
But the plot of the film isn't what perplexes me tonight. One of the greatest "Westerns" ever made, it was allegorical for the ones who had to stand alone, thanks to the cowardice of those who refused to come to their aid when pursued by the proponents of the "Red Scare," often called the McCarthy Era. I just watched the movie High Noon again, for the Nth time.
