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-manOld 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

fj 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. Regards, 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.
