^Push play

Here is an ancient cut from an old reel-to-reel recording of a show from 30 years ago or so.
Wisdom live in Fallbrook, Ca. from The 1978 CBers Muscular Dystrophy Telethon.

My buddy Hugh and I and a 6 string. We had an easy sound playing harmony covers and my early originals. We played every place in town and everybody’s wedding. The time of our lives.

“Wisdom” from 1978 (Hugh Bodurtha and Dan Grigor)

He found me recently on Facebook after a really really long time.
We reconnected and I dug out the old tapes to make him copies.
This is a song I wrote mostly about him and that time of life.
“when I play back the old tapes…”

sigh.

Songs and Friends
v1:
I get a special kind of feeling
When I’m singing songs with friends
It’s hard to describe but I’ll try
Tag 1:
It’s like flying and swimming at the same time
It’s like sand and clouds and sky
Chorus:
I can’t replace that feeling
Wouldn’t even try
Cause that’s when we’re the closest
Even more than when we cry
Break, Tag 1

v2:
When I play back the old tapes
From so long ago
I remember how young we were back then
Tag 2:
And I feel like crying and laughing at the same time
Reliving memories of the past
Chorus ….
Break ….
Tag 1 & Tag 2 (together)
