A co-write with Lisa Gundling. Because it is a song from the perspective of sisters, and it sounds funny when I sing the princess line... I asked my sister-in-song to sing this for us. Again, a Giant Thank You to Janice Merritt!! MY DADDY'S KNEE the land was flat when my daddy bought it an acre needing tending behind our new home back property line was a forest of pine miles of trees where we kids could roam free dirt from a neighbor that truck dumped a windfall dad grabbed his wheelbarrow and started to haul for years he worked hard to transform that yard a realm for his princesses to oversee my sister and i apples of his eye sharing the perfect throne my daddy's knee shovel by shovel he built our kingdom three terraced levels with stepping stone stairs we were all so fond of his little round pond half hidden alcoves tucked everywhere a big bamboo patch three trees full of cherries lopsided rock bench you should have seen the fairies! repeat chorus i can still see the look on his face the gleam in his eye for that magical place repeat chorus The BAND: RealTracks in song: ~518:Bass, Electric, Pop HalfNotes Ev 085 RealTracks in style: ~~407:Guitar, Acoustic, Fingerpicking Ev 165 RealTracks in song: 378:Guitar, Acoustic, Strumming DoubleTime Ev 088 RealTracks in song: ~2200:Guitar, Nylon, Background CountryBrent Ev 085 RealTracks in song: 623:Banjo, Background Backporch Ev 098 RealTracks in song: 2448:Guitar, Electric, Background, PopDreamyBrent Ev 085 RealDrums in Song: NashvilleBrushesCountryPopEv16: a: Sidestick, Brushes b: Brushes Janice Merritt: vocal and harmonies Bud Merritt recorded Janice's vocal track.

Hi Floyd and Lisa.
With so many songs having similar story-lines, it's really nice when someone comes up with something new.
This is SO original and yet at the same time, so engaging and so absorbing.
As usual, Floyd, a super backing and so professional.
As usual, Janice, I'm entranced by your captivating voice.
Beautiful.
ROG.

To all you 3:
This is lovely!
ROG hit the mark on all points- I can only add that, as a career landscaper and builder of the family garden, this is the song I wish my kids had written for me!

Man, this is about as pro-as it gets!
Again a crystal-clear mix.
This also must be Janice's best vocals so far.
A Keeper!!

This is a great vehicle for Janice's great vocals. It's so in the pocket. Professional in every way. Great mix and production. Have to send some kudos out to Bud - Vocals are so crystal clear.
A nice storyline, mindful a bit of Holly Dunn or even something Tom T. Hall would have written in the day.
I think this would have worked as a bluegrass tune as well.
Enjoyed it from start to finish.

So beautifully written!! This is what country music always tries to achieve and doesn't always get there. It is sweet and sincere but not sappy or trite. It is a tribute to the father, a tale of hard work to make a dream come true, and a heartfelt love of a girl for her father. BEAUTIFUL!! AND, Janice kills it, of course-awesome vocal! Great stuff guys! Take care. Greg

Hello, floyd
Very lovely song with a little folk rock feeling.
The chord progression of I - VIm - IV - V7 is the royal road of pops.
Very straight and favorable fitted to this tune.
Great vocals as always by Janice.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.

Excellent song beautiful vocals ..! We thank you, colly... Hi Floyd and Lisa.

Thanks, ROG! Lisa deserves all the credit for the originality of the storyline - it was her childhood we were writing about and she had most of the structure of those ideas set up to begin with...

This is as professional as you can get!
Lisa, Floyd and Janet, you all should be very proud of this.
If I heard this in a CD shop I would have bought it immediately.
Of course this is a keeper.
