America
Hey Guys Here is one of my newest songs. I posted a link to you tube so you can hear it as well. It was written over The Memorial Day Holiday in 2014. The video features myself and an Old Skimmer Puke Buddy of mine D.W. Butcher on harmonica, and his wife Anne on tambodrum. I've known him since 1974....

Re: Missing You
