My brother Bob and I played together as guitar players in a number of bands about 20 years ago. After he became a dentist and I got into the printing business we moved away to different places and our band broke up and we joined different groups. Bob was also a very talented luthier and built me the best guitar I ever owned, a PRS-style custom which I play to this day.
This was the first time we actually spent any time in the studio together in about 20 years. Bob wrote this song many years ago but we never had the chance to finish it. It was a real treat for me as it brought back so many memories of practicing in my parents garage with our band. We used to drive my folks crazy, but Pop was real proud of us, mom on the other hand wore airline headgear and tuned us out. The night we finished mixing this song, sadly, my father had a stroke from cancer complications and passed away 4 days later on Jan 6th 2012. He never had the chance to hear this song or see us play together in the studio, but I am sure it would have put a smile on his face. We miss you Dad. This one is for you Pops.
