    Beautiful song. I'm the old man now at 77. Hope my daughter grandkids and great grandkids think like this of me when I pass. Love your voice.

    When I lost my dad, I lost my best friend. Not a day I don't think of you for the past 40 years, my guiding star.

    My dad has been gone 44 years. Saturdays were my favorite days. It would just be the two of us in the mornings. He would play his beat up, old guitar and we would sing for hours! I sure do miss my old-young man! ❤️

      @John McDermott, Tenor I truly do cherish his memory. I have millions of memories of him. One I cherish most was going to one of your concerts with him when I was just a boy. Now that I'm a father myself, I really wish I had a second chance to tell him thanks for everything he had done.
