I wrote this almost 40 years ago as a lullaby for my brand new daughter Heather.

Sometimes there is victory in loss

The older I get, the better I was - Van Dyke

Written with Steven Charles and Michael Mc Farland. Started off as one thing and became another! This one's a rocker!!!! Country rock-ish maybe.

I grew up in a small town in Central FL. A very close friend who lived a half block from me was dying of cancer. As his time was drawing near, his brother asked if I would eulogize my friend at his service, which I was pleased to oblige. I visited my friend a few days before he passed and we laughed and cried as we recalled our crazy times together. Ironically, as I focused on our experiences for the sake of the eulogy, I couldn't help thinking about how much our small town was, "JUST LIKE MAYBERRY."

I always told my wife she could have been a movie star instead of marrying me, and that I'd write a song about that one day. It's not our story, but the tag about the granddaughter and the photo album actually happened.

Just a story of reflection and the paths of life
