Default For the Old Guys (young guys won't recognize it)

Pulled a video out of my channel for the Gordon Lightfoot thread, had forgotten some of the stuff I have there. This is one I did six or seven years ago.

I know the song but I'm not all that old. Great stuff!

I'm old, and I recognize it.

Every time I hear it on the radio I think, that song is a classic.

Not sure Harry ever got his proper due. He could tell a story. I was more into rock and roll than folk in those days, but I sure enjoyed the one show of his I got to see.

Looking forward to giving it a listen after the whistle blows!

Is that a Harry Chapin tune? Did Lightfoot write that?

A really really great job! I saw Chapin in a 3+ hour concert during my college years. What a talent he was. You did him justice here.

I must be an old guy because I remember that tune well! It's a very nice one and that's an excellent job. I also thought Harry never quite got his due. I really enjoyed that... and I'd love to hear some more...
