Well, I am in a motel room surfing the forum and thought I'd put an EVA song written by Mark and Me.  It was her first song with us and I loved it.  The song is about respecting or showing concern for the old folks.  It's an old one.  I hope you enjoy it.

I like smiles and I know some very old people, and I love this song.  Very cool lyrics. It might be old, but it is still very fresh.
Really, "won't you just stop and talk for awhile,"  that could make someones day, nay, their life, especially considering every day is a gift.  This song made me cry because I just spent some time with a lonely woman, she is 85, lives alone, recently had a stroke, she is a folklorist, she knew many Native Americans, and she tells great stories about herbs, culture, and life.  She cared for the man who wrote "Black Elk Speaks" I gave her some chokecherries so she could make some jelly, but I fear she may not have the faculties any more. She is growing some Mandan Corn that came from seeds thousands of years old.  She was given it by an old Chief.  This song resonates with me.

This is very au courant.  I'm working part time at an old folks home.  Fun song.  2009, can you believe that was 7 years ago?  

Yea, I always like that one Warren.

Really nice tune.  Eva sounds wonderful.

Lovely stuff and a great subject -
'Respect your elders' was drummed into me and my kids have been told the same

i remember this one....
it's been a while...
 
this has that kind of feel and sentiment that is just right on.
really good job.

Jesse-Thanks for listening and for your story.  That kind of thing makes writing a song worth while.  I posted this song about 9 years ago, it was one of the first Mark and I did together and the first with my sister.  There were great comments on performance and production but I am not sure how many people really listened to the words because I don't remember a lot of comments on them.  I love your story about the lady.  I pray she gets to do what her heart pleases.  I would like some of the corn and to listen to her stories!!!!  Peace, brother!
 
David- Thanks for listening.  I had to look up au courant and found that to be a very nice compliment.  I think that working with seniors and children are some of the best jobs to give back to society.  Kudos! 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Mark, this was a challenge for you, getting the tune and putting drums to what I sent. You did a great job!   We've pounded out a few since (40) and I will finish the Rabbit Hole song when I get home.  I promise!

Philz- Thanks, Buddy.  Eva is moving to Phoenix so we finally will have a good vocalist for our band.  I can't wait.
 
Daryl- Thanks for listening and commenting.  I always hope that my kids get it and from what I have seen they do.  They are kind and respectful.  Might be because they see the change in Ruth and I and understand we will be those people before long.  Thanks , again, THE ORIGINAL MR. DARYL1968!
 
Rob- Thanks, buddy.  Thanks for listening!
