In his 1884 book The Parables of Jesus, James Wells, Moderator of the United Free Church of Scotland, tells the story of a little girl carrying a big baby boy. Seeing her struggling, someone asked if she wasn't tired. With surprise, she replied: "No, he's not heavy; he's my brother."
Just lost my little brother suddenly a few days ago. I had found him a few hours after he apparently passed... He was only 26 years old. He was never too much to handle. He was my best friend and I will always miss him.
My older brother was diagnosed with cancer 3 months ago and just got out of hospital recently. I've been doing everything in my power to help him because "he ain't heavy, he's my brother". Update: Thanks to everyone who commented and your kind words. I just wanted to let people who were wondering know my brother is still alive and well as of August 2024. Thanks again. James
Just an update for anyone who cares to know: My brother has done his second round of out patient chemo and is rapidly losing his hair. He has to go back into the hospital for about 4 or 5 days each session so he tells me what food he wants so I make up a care package and bring it to him at the hospital because the food there is pretty nasty. I am doing everything I can to help him because if he dies I want to know I did everything I could to help.
Sadly, I am terminally ill. My little brother lived 7 hours from me. They wanted to put me in hospice back in August. My doctors have up on me and I had given up as well. Eric said he wasn't going to give up on me even though he had his own busy life to live because he is a nurse practioner? He brought me to Amarillo and he doctored me and found help for those in my condition. He could have taken the path of least resistance but he didn't and I am still here for now. He improved my quality of what time I have left. I asked why he did it. He said "Because you're my brother and I love you". I played this song for him and we both had a good, healthy cry.
may GOD OUR HEAVENLY FATHER BLESS YOU, PROTECT YOU AND PROVIDE ALL YOUR NEEDS. AND MAY HE COMFORT YOU IN YOUR SORROW. MAY YOU SEE YOUR HUSBAND AGAIN IN THE COMING PARADISE ON EARTH WHEN JESUS COMES TO REIGN ON EARTH. FROM YOUNG ROBERT IN AUSTRALIA .
@@robertbusuttil7848 awwww too sweet Robert. It’s ok. When my husband died he “ shared “ heaven with me for about two seconds. PERFECT LOVE. PERFECT FORGIVENESS. PERFECT PEACE , and music. I know he’s in a better place. Bless you and your kind kind heart ❤️
When I was in the 6th grade, we sang this song in chorus. I always loved this song, and believe it or not, a girl I worked with just did not get it. She could not understand what was so great about it.
Such a beautiful song, brings me to tears. My parents died together and so young leaving me to care for my handicapped brother who is so beautiful and innocent. RIP my loving parents.
@@carolecarr5210 Anyone who feels this music so deeply has the beauty in their soul. Anyone who would blindly pick up their cross and carry it with love, feeling honored to do so and find some joy in it, is able to feel the hand of God moving them in their life. Bless all those soldiers who have and are carrying those crosses, you are all beautiful souls.
For all the Vietnam combat vets who held their dying buddies and rubbed the mud and blood from their faces, telling them, "hang in there... bird's on the way, you're gonna make it," and watching their lives ebb away...thank you for being there.
These songs create value and character, such good lyrics and meaning. No wonder the current generation is confused, they never hear songs about love and loyalty to one another.
It cuts to your, and my heart, because we all know deep down we are all brothers and sisters. We often lose sight of that truth in this world, yet we still feel it.
Agreed Amy. Just sent this to my 30-year-old daughter, and I said, sing this to your partner and have them sing it back to you and live by these words. The world was so much more peaceful.
It's 2024 and I'm listening it to it I'm going to tell my mother goodbye I listen to it all the time listen Morning Has Broken another beautiful song God bless you have a good day
Having grown up in Father's Flanagan's Boys Town in the 1960s I walked past the statue dedicated to the story from which this comes from. There was a small boy who could not walk well and another boy picked him up on his back and carried him around even through the Nebraska snow. Father Flanagan ask him if he was weary from the burden and the responded, "He's not heavy Father he's my brother ". I think this group honored the story well with there music.
I read the story of this on world war 2 when the japanese was bomb , and a japanese child carry his younger brother who is dead already. G.i asked him to lay down the child because it was dead already and he said he ain't heavy, he's my brother.
Had my first dance at my wedding with my brother to this song. He passed away from 911 cancer in 2010. When I hear this song, I am beside myself. It is hard to hear it but yet it makes me happy because it brings back good memories.
I lost my baby brother about 5 years ago every time I hear a song I start crying I miss him so much he wasn't just my baby brother he was my best friend we played football together and basketball
Corkey that is a sad story but I have one consoling fact ....... Jesus said to her " Your brother will rise again " Jesus further said to her " I am the resurrection and the Life " He who believes in me will live , even though he dies " In all the literature of the world no other person has made such a statement and that is the final and sure hope for the Human Race. You will see your brother again , so stand tall , and believe it because it is going to happen as sure as night follows day .
wow thank you for sharing I happen to be the baby of the boys 4 and sadly have lost 2 leaving just the oldest and of course myself it never gets easier but I have the good Lord to thank for blessing me with the many wonderful life memories laughter's that of which we all shared together privileged" you bet God bless and bring comfort to you your heart and life amen.
God put this song in my head today for a reason. I caught a quick look and saw your post it's been 5 years since I personally lost one of my twin baby brothers too. THANK YOU FOR THE BLESSINGS
God bless your brother. Especially serving in a war that was more unpopular than all the others. He is a hero to me and I wish I could thank him in person.
I lost my brother many years ago, he wasn’t a model citizen for sure, however he was and still is my brother. He taught me so much about life. While he was mostly on the wrong path of every issue, I learned to walk a different path. I still wonder if he was protecting me somehow? Who knows? I just know I love and miss him. I really appreciate this song in so many ways. I wish and hope all whom read this message, happiness, health and success. And thank you for reading this.. all the best….
Yeah, my brother Marty died he was mentally ill and suffered terribly. You made it to the other side.Thank you, were the best you could be with your illness.
I dedicate this song to my dear older brother David who died in 2011 and always remember him with great affection, because he was very good to me and introduced me to listening to incredible music.
@@kenpreston7579 That's right, Ennio Morricone is an excellent composer. The theme of the movie "Malena" is beautiful, as well as the Love theme of "Cinema Paradiso", Your love from "Once upon a time in America", the theme of the movie "The Mission" and others.
@@sallysmith4492 Dear Sally: The beautiful memories spent together will never be forgotten. Rest assured that wherever you are he will always take care of you.
This song is a song that has an emotional connection to my father. Now he is in heaven. It's been a few years, today I decided to hear it again. Magical, my heart won't stop crying, Thank you for such beautiful memories
my younger brother joined the army after i did. Had to follow his big Bro. Sadly the drink and PTSD got him , lost him . I carried his coffin to this song. always cry to it
I haven't heard this song since I was a kid. Thinking about my uncle brought me here today. He and my father served in Vietnam in the air force and army both survived the war only for my uncle to die from senseless gun violence in the states years later. RIP uncle Larry. 1943-1973.
My brother died on August 4th , 1986 from lung cancer, at the ripe old age of 37! I was 35. I’m now 72, but there is seldom a day goes by that I don’t think about him. He was a pain in the butt sometimes, but I wish he was here now. I love you Bob, see you in my dreams and hopefully be with you one day
My Brother led a troubled life in many ways and for many reasons.I as his only older brother and nine years older, always tried to help and or protect him as big Brothers do.However I could not help or protect him the night he died in a tragic truck crash in 2003. This Hollies song makes me ball every time I here it.Miss him always and he never got to heavy. Love this song.
Was about to say that. Very moving rendition from an amazing album. Tap Root Manuscript. If you aren't familiar with this album, get it and hear it and love it before you leave this mortal coil!!! Trust me!!!
A beautiful song with a beautiful message. In the 1940’s there was a poster of a young boy carrying his little brother on his back. The caption read. “He ain’t heavy, Mister. He’s my brother”
My husband was a biker they played this at hi funeral 6 years ago...wasn't able to listen without crying...now I just smile and think of all the good memories we made❤
This song..this song holds so much meaning and emotion for me. My brother died by suicide in 2017. This song started playing continuously on the radio within days of his death. My brother has never been heavy. He's my brother, forever loved and treasured in my heart. This song will always mean my brother is nearby.
Sad for your loss. I had a nut spoiled sister I always had to check on. I finally accepted if life was that bad- she had to do what she had to do. Received the call from my Mom. Sister dead. Wrong Sister!! The one who never threatened it- had so much abuse....Any way- lean on me -reminds me of her.
Lost my brother 8th December 2023, Whenever I heard this beautiful tune it always made me think of Stuart....even more so now with a heavy heart....but I can carry it because he's my brother
This reminds me of my brother (ex. Marine 1974). He wanted to go to Vietnam But He was still in HS. He's still alive but I don't know where He is. He has always told me The VA led to the death my other brother, another Ex. Marine. I wanted to go but I have flat Feet. My 3 uncles were also ex. Marines. This song hits hard.
We owe a lot to our Veterans and especially our Vietnam Veterans. I used to work at the Veterans Home if California great bunch of men and women. Thank you all for your service.
The 3million Vietnamese people who died during the war, and the hundreds of thousands who suffered from the effects of Agent Orange, have them to thank too, I guess.
@@JakeUSN that's why you incorporated your branch of service into your channel name, right, "bro"? to try to discourage any _thank you for your service_ nonsense, right, "bro"? Your fishing for it, "bro," you're fishing for it!
I can’t listen to this song without sobbing.. Lost my brother exactly a year ago, and my husband and I decided to adopt his only daughter and look after his wife (unwell) from far… I miss you so much.. 😭😭😭
Am listening 2 this song with the Lord: I lost my younger brother in 2021..another died 2018 and the third 6 years before. Thank God my mum and dad passed before the above..they wouldn't been able 2 cope😪
Hi there, Good morning. Seeing you here put a smile on my face. I would really love to get to know you better. Is there anything you would like to tell me about yourself? I'm all ears! Well I'm from Italy. But I am currently in Las Vegas NV. I'm new on here and I hope to hear from you soon Ok
Both my brothers passed from cancer God what I'd do to have them here now Hold on tight to ur family, in a blink of an eye one day their gone from you ... U were never heavy my brothers, I luv u Brian n Carman n miss u both so much xoxoxo
This song hits home especially for us who had friends and family who were in the Vietnam war. Just young boys on the cusp of becoming men. Some of my friends came home, some not. If we could love one another as we were created in love, what a beautiful world this would be.Im 70 now, a widow of a retired disabled veteran. I've read so many comments and my heart brakes for all of you. We all have a story to tell. Jesus said we are passers-by, we will be with the ones who have returned home. We are in this world but not of this world.I pray for everyone to find peace and love in their hearts.
I have only one brother, little brother, but he was always hated me for no reason since i can remember. He lied so many about us while keep playing and taking advantage of me n my family. He is really weighed on me.., took me awhile to understand : no matter how cruel he was and he is to me, he is still my brother.. and the best gift God gave to me through him - is : i can experience and finally understand what does it mean of TRUE FORGIVENESS.. He aint heavy, he is n will be always my brother.. i let your approval go brother.. ❤❤❤
I agree that the phrase or title is an ancient one and the song a mere 53 year-old tune (1969 January) but where and when did you only hear about the title and not the song, that is, until now, Susan? Just curious..
@@paidda I had quit listening to popular music mid 1968. My husband and I had just been married and he was going to be in college and seminary for the next 7 years. We didn't have time for radio or TV during that time. I was also taking classes and having babies. LOL We eventually had 7 children and did not get a TV until 1986! We were book worms.
@@SueTwee that's so remarkable. No time wasted then. I salute your thoughts and decisions early on, and your husband's, too.. takes two to tango, after all. Thanks for the reply 👍
This song reminds me of my brother who passed away in 1990 during an icy water rescue incident. The man was as fierce as they come, but would also give you the shirt off his back and could not part company without a hug and saying “I love you”. The world could use more of him. You can look up the incident that happened at Convict Lake, CA in 1990.

These songs create value and character, such good lyrics and meaning. No wonder the current generation is confused, they never hear songs about love and loyalty to one another.
So true ❤
You said it right. Brother..
Truer words never been spoken
But they know all about the WAP…
Why has this song cut to my soul for my whole life? I’m 57 and it still gives me chills.
Me too! Absolutely indescribably touching!!!
64 and that's what the great songs do
It cuts to your, and my heart, because we all know deep down we are all brothers and sisters. We often lose sight of that truth in this world, yet we still feel it.
Me too and I'm 64, I could listen to it all day
Same herr
2024. Have a mentally brother and I’ve been his legal guardian for 42 years. It’s been an honor. He ain’t heavy, he’s my brother ❤️

God bless you.
God bless you man.
He is a blessed man to have a sister like you.
Hes blessed to have you as a sister!

Will anyone still hear this beautiful song in 2024??😊👍
Yes bro i listen to Hollies, Carpenters etc from 70s till 80s

I had a horrific brain bleed. My brother quit his job to nurse me. I have short term memory loss but will never forget what he has done for me.
That’s an incredible and beautiful story. Thank you ❤

There was a small boy who could not walk well and another boy picked him up on his back and carried him around even through the Nebraska snow. Father Flanagan ask him if he was weary from the burden and the responded, "He's not heavy Father he's my brother ". I think this group honored the story well with there music.
Yes. Boy’s town. There’s also a poster I’d like to have that says, “he ain’t heavy, Mister, he’s my brother” this became the motto for Boy’s Town.
"He's not heavy Father he's my brother ".
I read the story of this on world war 2 when the japanese was bomb , and a japanese child carry his younger brother who is dead already. G.i asked him to lay down the child because it was dead already and he said he ain't heavy, he's my brother.
That is a great sentiment for a song that should not create a division in our society,but a sense of unity.All Are 1=GODS MESSAGE.
Thank you you gave me the answer to my music class question!
One of the great songs of all time.
Agree!
Yes, i agree 👍
Yes. 100% fact.
agreed and i was barely two when this came out
Sung with feeling.
My brother passed away on July 30th, 2006. I will never forget him nor the tragic way he died. David, I will always remember you and love you.
So sorry for your loss; only when my sibling got severely ill I realized what a big part of our hearts our siblings take. Better late than never.

What a pretty and fascinating woman ,hello my darling ?
We won’t remember Taylor Swift in 50 years. But the Hollies music lives on.

This song was played at my brothers funeral. The words hit home because if we had known he was in his last days, we would have carried him..
When my brother was dying, I suggested this song to him, and said he wanted cheerful songs, and gave us a list.
Playing this at my grandpas fueneral today. I can relate to doing different had you known. I would have done different
After nursing my younger brother through Cancer and his passing, this was played at his funeral. Still brings me to tears.😢💜

Ennio Morricone title song to the movie "Malena" is beautiful as this song.
@@kenpreston7579 That's right, Ennio Morricone is an excellent composer. The theme of the movie "Malena" is beautiful, as well as the Love theme of "Cinema Paradiso", Your love from "Once upon a time in America", the theme of the movie "The Mission" and others.
My baby brother died at 57 last summer 2022!!!
@@sallysmith4492 Dear Sally: The beautiful memories spent together will never be forgotten. Rest assured that wherever you are he will always take care of you.
even after all these years, still one of my favorite songs
Hello 😊 how's your day going so far?
This song is a song that has an emotional connection to my father. Now he is in heaven. It's been a few years, today I decided to hear it again. Magical, my heart won't stop crying, Thank you for such beautiful memories
My dads funeral song. Until we meet again. I love you dad, I know you got my back

There Harmonies are out of this world. Absolute Legends! I lost my only brother to cancer last year. Makes me Cry. Beautiful song.
I'm so sorry... (and I agree 100% with your comment).
I lost my brother in 2016 and it still hurts! This makes me think of him!
I don't have and never had a brother ... 😶 And not a sister ... 😶

@@jeanniemainzer8551 thank you missed that. When in mourning, spelling is irrelevant.
I haven't heard this song since I was a kid. Thinking about my uncle brought me here today. He and my father served in Vietnam in the air force and army both survived the war only for my uncle to die from senseless gun violence in the states years later. RIP uncle Larry. 1943-1973.
Here in 2024 listening to this banger.
My generation!❤
Is fading fast
And also it's nice to see that people are listening to it today not just a year ago or more
Absolutely 👍👍👍👍👍
My brother died on August 4th , 1986 from lung cancer, at the ripe old age of 37! I was 35. I’m now 72, but there is seldom a day goes by that I don’t think about him. He was a pain in the butt sometimes, but I wish he was here now. I love you Bob, see you in my dreams and hopefully be with you one day
My Brother led a troubled life in many ways and for many reasons.I as his only older brother and nine years older, always tried to help and or protect him as big Brothers do.However I could not help or protect him the night he died in a tragic truck crash in 2003. This Hollies song makes me ball every time I here it.Miss him always and he never got to heavy. Love this song.
❤
I am going to miss the three wise men
Me too my friend, me too😢😢
*unwise
But yes. We'll miss em
This song came on the day I found out my Brother passed. Such a special song to me...22 years ago today...Miss you bro.
back in a days when the songs lyrics actually had a meaning.
sad fact
And you could hear what they were singing.
Sounds like you don't listen to a lot of modern stuff then. Dumb tunnel vision.
I don't know what you're listening to, but I've heard LOTS of current songs with meaning...
You got that right
None of shit rapper songs
This song just brings me to tears..gives me goosebumps..the power of words and song...❤
Well said
No one else could sing this song. It was made for them!
Yes so true ❤
Agree!
The Neil Diamond version ain’t to bad…
Was about to say that. Very moving rendition from an amazing album. Tap Root Manuscript. If you aren't familiar with this album, get it and hear it and love it before you leave this mortal coil!!! Trust me!!!
A beautiful song with a beautiful message.
In the 1940’s there was a poster of a young boy carrying his little brother on his back. The caption read. “He ain’t heavy, Mister. He’s my brother”
That according to some people was where Alan Clarke got the inspiration for this song.
@@Wackadoodoono1 Really? Strange because he didn't write it.
The Grand Tour brought me here. 👍
My husband was a biker they played this at hi funeral 6 years ago...wasn't able to listen without crying...now I just smile and think of all the good memories we made❤
Smiles, how are you doing?
@@Gerardnolan191 Hi never really check on who replies to my comments I'm doing well thank you his memorial coming up soon 21st August
@@glendabrukman9509 really?
Where are you from?
@@Gerardnolan191 South Africa...Cape Town

I'm from Atlanta Georgia
This song..this song holds so much meaning and emotion for me. My brother died by suicide in 2017. This song started playing continuously on the radio within days of his death. My brother has never been heavy. He's my brother, forever loved and treasured in my heart. This song will always mean my brother is nearby.
Peace to you.
Sad for your loss. I had a nut spoiled sister I always had to check on. I finally accepted if life was that bad- she had to do what she had to do. Received the call from my Mom. Sister dead. Wrong Sister!! The one who never threatened it- had so much abuse....Any way- lean on me -reminds me of her.
That's a shame
may our loving heavenly father be with you in your sorrow. .you will see your brother again in a better world that is coming.

Here after the last grand tour promo. And I'm not crying, you are.
Just a masterpiece of a song.
One of most beautiful songs I ever heard
Me too! One of the saddest too!
An old classic, now the Grand tour send off hit song
😃
Played this beautiful song at my brothers funeral RIP Jim ❤❤
Lost my brother 8th December 2023,
Whenever I heard this beautiful tune it always made me think of Stuart....even more so now with a heavy heart....but I can carry it because he's my brother
You have my deepest sympathy on the passing of your beloved brother.
Allan Clarke...your voice is amazing...no one sings this like u....
Really miss u
He was a doll. Still a good looking guy for 81 too
What a pretty and fascinating woman ,hello my darling ?
This song was played at a relatives funeral, such a beautiful song 😢
Played this at my little brother's funeral- just showed up in my feed- no coincidence of course! Forever 25- love you bro 💜💜💜💜
ONE SHOULD LOVE ONE WOMAN IN TRUE LIFE I WOULD DIE FOR ANY WOMAN BEFORE ANYTHING RACHAEL ARNOLD WAZZA MC CROW PLEASE OPEN YOUR MIND AND THINK.❤
I have to say - one of the very few songs that brings on tears ........
This is simply an epic song.
One of a kind.
Unforgettable music, I never get tired of listening to it, very good....
Grand Tour finale brought me here😢
This reminds me of my brother (ex. Marine 1974). He wanted to go to Vietnam But He was still in HS. He's still alive but I don't know where He is. He has always told me The VA led to the death my other brother, another Ex. Marine. I wanted to go but I have flat Feet. My 3 uncles were also ex. Marines. This song hits hard.
Love This Song Since The 60 Still Listening In 2023
Still beautiful in 2024❤
We owe a lot to our Veterans and especially our Vietnam Veterans. I used to work at the Veterans Home if California great bunch of men and women. Thank you all for your service.
❤️🇺🇸💙 God Bless You...Forever..❤️
sorry, not into veteran worship
The 3million Vietnamese people who died during the war, and the hundreds of thousands who suffered from the effects of Agent Orange, have them to thank too, I guess.
@@Marcel_Audubon That's alright bro, we don't need to be worshiped.
@@JakeUSN that's why you incorporated your branch of service into your channel name, right, "bro"? to try to discourage any _thank you for your service_ nonsense, right, "bro"?
Your fishing for it, "bro," you're fishing for it!
The Hollies the perfect song the harmony is like heaven great sound and lyrics 🎶
Exactly 👏🌹❤
One of the best songs ever. He’s not heavy, he’s my brother!
Many of our soldiers know this and people who have been crippled or hurt in the war. Thank you.
I can’t listen to this song without sobbing.. Lost my brother exactly a year ago, and my husband and I decided to adopt his only daughter and look after his wife (unwell) from far… I miss you so much.. 😭😭😭
I am so very sorry! My twin brother passed 7/2023 and I am still reeling. Then my Mom 2/2024 passed. It hurts! I love you and wish you well.🥰
I'm so very sorry. We are losing our brother soon also. Sending you love 💕
@@ld3511sending you love. I understand.❤
@@LilyDrew-q1d So very sorry. Sending you my Love and positive thoughts.💝
@@ld3511Thank you so much. He was a good person ❤
I'm 58 and this song takes me back to a happier place
Am listening 2 this song with the Lord:
I lost my younger brother in 2021..another died 2018 and the third 6 years before. Thank God my mum and dad passed before the above..they wouldn't been able 2 cope😪
For the last time….
Here we go! 😭
This song makes me so emotional every time I hear it.
Hi there, Good morning. Seeing you here put a smile on my face. I would really love to get to know you better. Is there anything you would like to tell me about yourself? I'm all ears! Well I'm from Italy. But I am currently in Las Vegas NV. I'm new on here and I hope to hear from you soon Ok
Both my brothers passed from cancer
God what I'd do to have them here now
Hold on tight to ur family, in a blink of an eye one day their gone from you ...
U were never heavy my brothers, I luv u Brian n Carman n miss u both so much
xoxoxo
This song hits home especially for us who had friends and family who were in the Vietnam war. Just young boys on the cusp of becoming men. Some of my friends came home, some not. If we could love one another as we were created in love, what a beautiful world this would be.Im 70 now, a widow of a retired disabled veteran. I've read so many comments and my heart brakes for all of you. We all have a story to tell. Jesus said we are passers-by, we will be with the ones who have returned home. We are in this world but not of this world.I pray for everyone to find peace and love in their hearts.
Amen. The TRUTH.
GOD BLESS
I have only one brother, little brother, but he was always hated me for no reason since i can remember. He lied so many about us while keep playing and taking advantage of me n my family. He is really weighed on me.., took me awhile to understand : no matter how cruel he was and he is to me, he is still my brother.. and the best gift God gave to me through him - is : i can experience and finally understand what does it mean of TRUE FORGIVENESS.. He aint heavy, he is n will be always my brother.. i let your approval go brother.. ❤❤❤
Amen My Friend!
Top gear and grand tour the end of era😭😭😭😭
Who’s here after the final The Grand Tour trailer and announcement? 😢😢😢
I am 73 years old and this is the first time I have heard this song. I have only heard of the title.
Waah really..why late
I agree that the phrase or title is an ancient one and the song a mere 53 year-old tune (1969 January) but where and when did you only hear about the title and not the song, that is, until now, Susan? Just curious..
@@paidda I had quit listening to popular music mid 1968. My husband and I had just been married and he was going to be in college and seminary for the next 7 years. We didn't have time for radio or TV during that time. I was also taking classes and having babies. LOL We eventually had 7 children and did not get a TV until 1986! We were book worms.
@@SueTwee that's so remarkable. No time wasted then. I salute your thoughts and decisions early on, and your husband's, too.. takes two to tango, after all. Thanks for the reply 👍
What wasted years ! Is your hearing still good ?
This song reminds me of my brother who passed away in 1990 during an icy water rescue incident. The man was as fierce as they come, but would also give you the shirt off his back and could not part company without a hug and saying “I love you”. The world could use more of him. You can look up the incident that happened at Convict Lake, CA in 1990.
I feel your sadness *hugs*
@thegrandtour brought me here
One of the greatest songs ever recorded...brilliant musicians what a piece of class this is..that harmonica is unmatched in my opinion
Damn right.
Amen to that. Spot on!
I agree. The harmonica is in the key of G for anyone who wants to know.
Lost my younger brother to a horrible disease on my 50th birthday 2008 , this always makes me feel sad because it's one of my favourite group's
Good luck in the future.❤🇦🇺🌹
