Got to thinking about a buddy of mine I hiked much of the Appalachian Trail with back in 1996. Did this last night in the car, cello is thumbjam.

Dear Old Friend
written & performed by Hook
Will we meet again
Dear old friend
So many times I remember when
Your strength was all that got me round the bend

And time has spread our paths
Could they cross again
Miles are what connects us
My dear old friend

Such a different me
I imagine you the same
Of course I could be wrong
Perhaps I haven't changed

20 years makes a classic
So we're a classic you and i
That deserves a toast
On a mountain side

Because the Hook brings you back
I ain't tellin' you no lie
The hook brings you back
On that you can rely

Oh man, the Tres sounds just fantastic - reminds me of an Appalachian dulcimer. Wonderful song, Hook.

Very nice, that Tres sounds so bright and the presence shines through with poise.
Great lyrics and delivery in your voice.

So which one of you was Katz?

This sounds so good. I'm really liking sparse arrangements these days, and this was just stellar. Really like the swicth to the G that then descends chromatically.

Downloaded.

Your songwriting is right up my alley! It's so good and relaxing to hear simple, hand-made music like this. Very well done!

Agree with that!

I like the atmosphere of this.

I can almost see Appalachian mountains and landscape when listening this!

Bravo!

A very pleasant song to listen to while I looked around to figure out what the heck a Tres was. Es Cubano.

Sounds great bud.
