Thank you, EDZ!

I appreciate the nod to those opening lines...have to set the scene and get the

Cheers.

I always thought it would have been cool to have had a brother, I ended up with a sister and we have absolutely nothing in common. I do have two young grandsons though and it's great to see the relationship they have with each other.

Good song, enjoyed!


Dave,
My sons are many years apart in age, so no rivalry and some hero worship which I tried to suggest in the lyrics.
Watching those grandsons of yours from the sidelines must be fun.
Thanks for your listen and comments.


Robert
