Our first time to cover a song by the British-American band America. It’s their catchy 1974 hit Tin Man, with smooth major seventh chords and obvious references to The Wizard of Oz. So fun! And our dear friend Tom McDermott makes an appearance towards the end of the song.

One of our most favorite songs and groups from the 80’s. Recorded at our homes and around Fort Worth, TX, then edited together by me! We also take a moment to celebrate our city’s first responders.
George Harrison and The Beatles’ beautiful song from the classic 1969 album Abbey Road. We recorded this live with no overdubs, only took us seven takes 🙂
Harmony Hall by Vampire Weekend from their 2019 album, Father Of The Bride. I always thought they were a fascinating band and this song is especially great. We had some help from the amazing Clay Willis on guitar, guest vocalists Alaina Gunter and Christa Russell and special guest cameos from my friends Charles Gaby and Katsuk.
Special thanks to Greg Luce for helping me shoot this video!
Lyrics Sound of something woke me this morning, just before the dawn Poured myself a cup of coffee and put my old blue jeans on Sounded like an old bluegrass band, Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs And there sat my old guitar, a 1960’s Gibson Dove.
In this room we always played, I’d love to live days again On and on every Saturday night, seemed like it would never end
How’d we get from there to here, how did we stay alive? Keeping all our love around or keeping it inside? How’d we find the words to say, how did we ever know That a moment could last forever or it could just up and go.
April it came without warning in the spring of ‘69 Blue-eyed boy, a bundle of joy gonna carry the family line Won’t be headed off to war, the college plans fell through Six days on an assembly line seemed like the honest thing to do.
How’d we get from there to here, how did we stay alive? Keeping all our love around or keeping it inside? How’d we find the words to say, how did we ever know That a moment could last forever or it could just up and go.
How about the time I met your mom, took her months for her to go Still the same all our love remains, it’s her you favor most Been 40 years since my daddy died, seems like he still ain’t gone Smell a pipe and a Zippo lighter it’s like he’s right here at home
Mama said he’s the only one, somehow she always knew Heart of gold and an immeasurable soul still had to leave him a time or two.
Now these hands that paved my way have betrayed me over time Parkinson’s the name they gave it, can’t even hold a fishing line Think I’ll head down to the café diner find a jukebox and play a tune Love to hear the sound of Flatt and Scruggs playing “Good Ol’ Mountain Dew”
How’d we get from there to here, how did we stay alive? Keeping all our love around or keeping it inside? How’d we find the words to say, how did we ever know That a moment could last forever or it could just up and go.
