Story behind the song
A song written in 1991 about war and the loss of someone. I wrote this at the request of a P.O.W. organization in our area. It has reference to the Vietnam War in it. The reason I am posting it now, is due to the loss of my dear friend and fellow musician, JJ. JJ was a sax player in my old band for a lot of years, and I don't think any other musician I have ever met has had as much heart and soul as he did. My Friend will not be forgotton, for the beauty of his music will touch our souls forever.
Lyrics
