This time last year I got back in contact with my Uncle Larry. Larry was a fabulous bass player having played in many traveling bands for the likes of The Association, Chuck Berry, The Supremes. He was not just my Uncle but good friend and mentor.

I wrote this song with him in mind to sing and play bass. So I get the guitar & drum tracks done and ask him to come out and lay a bass track. The drummer was still here. We watched Larry listen to this 1 time, then say, "Lets do this.", and lay the bass track in 1 shot.

4 weeks later Larry passed away.
Since then I have pussy footed around this song. I have found it hard to listen to, get beyond, let alone finish. But here it is. I took on the vocals. I don't do this justice and the mix is probably not great, but I don't want his bassline to be lost. It's the last piece of him I have.
