Back in August, I took my boss to a pawn shop to help her by her husband a guitar for his 60th birthday. The guitar came with a lined, beat-up, worn out, hard-case. In the case were some love letters all addressed to "Tammy", and a receipt for a plane ticket from the States to Germany dated 1983. What else does a songwriter need?! I sang it to him at his party.

I apologize if I've written one too many songs with acoustic guitars and cellos, but I can't help what I love.

Missing Tammy (8/22/2019)

It was 1983, and I was missing Tammy
One hour 'till departure, before my journey home
I carried her spirit with me, from Maine to Mississippi
from the California Valleys, to the Gulf of Mexico


I had no idea time was about to rob me
rob me of the one thing
the one thing that had kept me hanging on

I finally read those letters you had sent me
your true love had convinced me
When I left you, Tammy I was wrong


I've been up and down these highways, dreaming of a bigger destiny
seams like it's always raining, ah where ever I may roam
beaten down like this guitar case, a vessel now so empty
with her picture here beside me, that I won't feel so alone

Chorus

With my aim on the horizon, the morning of our last day
She stunned me when she kissed me and whispered “Love goodbye”
I think I just heard my number, and it's time to board the plane
headed home to my sweet darling, with her memory on my mind

Chorus

It was 1983, and I'll always miss you Tammy
