Old Red Bike

[chip withrow]

My father-in-law found an old bike at a flea market, and I sank a few bucks into making it roadworthy.
I wrote this last summer after I had dusted off the bike and taken it for a spin. At the time, I was full of philosophical musings on how much the bike meant to me.
Well, on Saturday I was cleaning out the carport, and I finally got it out again - it was behind a ladder, a card table, a grill, a few hula hoops ... My wife thought I had drunk too much beer to be riding around the neighborhood.



These days, I just write and record a song and move on to the next one. But I have a few like this one - the weird and fun little odds and ends of my life - that I might be interested in doing more with.

Cool live feel to it. That resonator sounds awesome. Great little story too!

I admire your creativity to write songs about ordinary things! This is a good example, again... Well done, thanks for sharing...

cleaning the garage can be a wonderful thing. It certainly led to a cool tune.

Great song, worthy of keeping around and maybe adding some more to one day.

from mismatched socks to love affairs with a bicycle, you certainly have a Wainwright feel to your music.

superb!!!

How to make the mundane magical, you cracked it on this one Chip but you've also reminded me that with an Easter break coming up I have a job to do. Guess what?  ..............Willie
