The verses in this song alternate being about my best friend when I was a little kid, and my best friend at the time I wrote it. I thought it was brave and artsy at the time. Then I grew up. :)
A tune I made on my first attempt on my wife's Magix Music Maker software. She was impressed about how quickly I picked it up! A slightly revised second edition and it is ready for publication. Caution - contains all Magix loops.
