River run away with me
I got my paddle in my hand
Take me far away from here
Take me to the sea
Take me somewhere I don’t know
Take me where the water goes
Start out fast, then go slow
Closer to the…
In memory of my Friend who was bigger than life, and an ego the size of Lake Superior.

Remember when Rick was in his office and Jim dropped his pen on the floor.
Jim had to lay his head on his desk to reach his pen.
Rick thought he had a
heat attack and was afraid he may have to give him mouth to mouth. Of
course Rick told the story so good he had us all cracking up.
I still miss those days. Great group of people. Super One was growing so fast and
everyone's sales were way up and we just had fun. Is Rick retired?

Just a few stories recieved on email regarding our friend:
Eric always tells the store about when Jim was trying to get into his
little Buick Skylark to go to lunch. Of course because Jim was so big he
had to hold on the top of the car and lower himself in. Well Eric decides
to wash his windshield and shoots washer fluid all over Jim while he's
stuck trying to get in the car. Eric had to pay to dry clean his suit.

I've been thinking lately of all the stories about him. Like when I would take him out to lunch. He'd order some big thing like the broiled trout, toss salad with oil and vinegar and more.
Then the waitress would look at me. I would say "I'll have what Dad's having".
He would erupt claiming "I'm not your father you Bastard!"
Good Times ... Good Times! I still giggle when I think about some of his antics.

I was in his office trying to present some promotion. He dropped his head on the desk when I mentioned the price, and it scared the hell out of me.

Sweet, you always had a nice touch. Your flute playing is sounding good, better then I remember, but I don't recall a lot of songs with you playing it. What are you using for the percussions. I got a bamboo guiro and one that I think is made from some kind a of food that is hollow inside and no openings. Your sound similar to the bamboo guiro.

I guessing, but did that cold blast of winter air create this good ole song ?
If it did, lets hope the DAMN COLD I'm suffering brings out one as good as this.

Well, I think you made an excellent and truthful tribute.

Life keeps trans-versing time, the things lost,the things to be found, and the moment we live in , Don't set out the dance, or decide not to go. Where ever you are be there.

Where danger silently creeps
And storm so violently sweep
You're drifting too far from the shore.

Drifting too far from the shore
You're drifting too…

Ah now, I should have saved this one for last before bedtime. Ah, really nice Greg!

Really nice. Great acoustic guitar work, nice vocals. Evocative lyrics that fit the music well. Well done!

Guitar sounds really sweet...is that the new one? Really professional sounding recording...
He was always a loner, But didn't despair, He strum, And he strum, And he strum. singing
~slowly the river flows, it bears me there where I never was~
Sweet, you always had a nice touch. Your flute playing is sounding good, better then I remember, but I don't recall a lot of songs with you playing it. What are you using for the percussions.

Sets My spirit free. great whistle solo
That wistful traveling feeling get at all of us sometimes
Real nice song
Back for another listen. I love this one
I guessing, but did that cold blast of winter air create this good ole song ? If it did, lets hope the DAMN COLD I'm suffering brings out one as good as this.
Now that is a great name!!! and a great tune..love the harmonica Greg...outstanding!
Well my comment is on the home page but not on yours Greg. "Curiouser and curiouser"!
This one gives me a good feeling, I hope somebody remembers me as well someday. (smile)

Another crazy S.O.B. takes his hat off and goes, "Pilgrim, that sez it right there, yessiree." As fine a tribute to a friend as I've seen.

Very pretty. I like the mandolin, and the refrain.
Another good old song.
You make it sound so easy. Well done.
Beautiful. I can see why your Aunt is proud of you!
This is one of my favorite songs.
This has, at least for me, an etherial quality to it. It's very interiging.
Very touching tribute and a great idea including the family.
Sad song. Congratulations on your 38 years. Just curious how many years you behaved yourself and how many you didn't.
This is a spine tingler. So now I have to ask . . . how does this relate to your family history?
Great Family Effort. I like the way it bounces along.
Sad song
Once again, great idea! The natural acoustics of the room really show off your guitar playing.
I may have set up the PA outside and play this for all the local canine. Then there would be some tail wagging for sure!
Beautiful What a great idea!
Great Message, and I like hearing that banjo.
Pretty acoustic sound. Very light and airy. I like the string bending too.
GOOD GAWD !!! Big Sound to fit the Big Legs. She must be a special gal.
Nice interpretation. This song brings back memories.
Different and interesting.
I think this is a masterpiece! You have captured the essence. My wife brings order to my chaos too, 36 years now.
