This is amazingly good. Everything was done right and put in its perfect place. A great listen. You did your friend good. I, too, lost an institution of my musical life about 6 or 7 years. I cried for a while and then went to work polishing a lyric he'd written and then put it to music. He was one of the best singers you've never heard. But our lives have to go on after their's doesn't. So, I keep him in thought as I continue with my music.

On a less somber note, this line put a smile on my face: "Tellin lies and drinking Thunderbird". When i was stationed at Fort Belvoir, VA in the 60s, I remember me and a few friends investing in some Thunderbird and Mad Dog 20-20. Our unhappy heads reminded us of our decision for several days thereafter. But that's another story for another time.

This song is amazingly good.

Alan, thanks for all that. It didn’t take long for our tastes to change after the Thunderbird days. Stay well, Tom
[quote=BlueAttitude]Hey Tom,

Great song, and a nice tribute to your friend. Love the Jesus left Chicago line! Reminds me of the Z.Z. Top tune.

Totally pro all the way as per usual, loved it.
Dave, thanks for the nice comments. That line is an old saying I heard growing up. After I used it I read somewhere about the ZZ song. I don’t think I ever heard it. Tom
