Blues for David.
I wrote this as a song, when I could strum a bit, arthritis in my fingers has ended that. My cousins son who has a masters in music played the harp and sang. Then he mixed it at his uni studio. Its fitting this was the last I played. Some know I lost my beautiful son to a rare bone cancer five years ago now.
Blues for David
Woke up this morning
I was feeling blue
Looked to my left
Couldn’t see you
Looked to my right
Thats when I knew
Oh my best buddy
Buddy where are you.
I have a million dollars,
And ten tons of gold
That I kept in a locker.
For when us two get old.
But its worth nothing now
Because we’re torn apart
And I know I can’t spend
I can’t spend my fractured heart.

Reminds me of those old deep South blues numbers - sung by some
guy on his porch while his kin look on.
