Lots of great stuff on here lately.

This is a song about my father. Just a little folk song.


https://soundcloud.com/90-db/old-man


Old Man

©1992 Robert Randall Burke


The road, it lies before me
Like a challenge in the night
But my eyes
Don't see well anymore
Old man.
Old man.


And I once went to China
Once when I was young
But I couldn't tell you much about it now
Old man.
Old man.


And I've always been a wanderer
The road's my only friend
But I guess I'll have to stay here
Till it's over
Old man.
Old man.




Regards,


Bob

Nice write, Bob.

Well played, well sung, nicely recorded. The vocal processing is exceptional.

Enjoyed it.

Bob,
I enjoyed the gentle reflection in your lyrics and richness of your vocal. Nice guitar too.
Very good.

Bob,

I agree with floyd. As always, you lead the way and show us all how to take just a few words and spin them into a worthy tale. I found this very listenable in every way.

Noel

Very beautiful!! I love the sparse arrangement (I guess that's you on the acoustic). Very much of a S and G quality. Great vocal too! Loved it Bob!! Take care. Greg

There's a helluva lot of emotion packed in those few words and that terrific vocal.

I'm old enough to have seen my father and many uncles from the depression and wwII generation pass on. Your song took me immediately to them.

Powerful production!

Robert,

This is beautiful. Nicely floating and drifting sound. Very gentle.
Beautiful chord progression and lyrics, and top-notch vocals as always.
The "old man" repetition works great in the arrangement.

Hi, Bob !


I think this is one of your
absolute best if not the best !
It took me back to those nice
days of yesterday when we used
to sit with a guitar in our
hands singing all those sweet
folk songs of Dylan, P, P and M,
Joan Baez, Simon & Garfunkel etc.

Pure nostalgia !!!

Cheers
Dani

This is so danged good! My (Alan) father died in 1969 - about a year and a half after I got back from Vietnam. Brought back some memories. You get a lot from so little - that's a true talent. We loved it! Best to you - and the old man!

Hi Bob.

Yes, simple but effective.

And absolutely beautiful.

Full of emotion, as ever.

Terrific mix - I wish I had that reverb!

Cheers, ROG.
