Greg,
as always, your prelude to the song really resonated with me. I could say many of the same things about my own dad, and about my son, but you said it all so well!

I love the gentle and articulate way you have of expressing whatever is on your mind... whether as lyrics in a song or as comments on someone else's.

As I listened, I imagined the voice of Ray Charles. It's as though you wrote it for him... I can easily imagine his version.

Given the topic, it seems almost inappropriate to launch into a discussion about song writing, so I'll just say that in my opinion, your song is the perfect expression of the man your dad raised you to be.
