Can it really be that many years?
Which led me to taking a long look at this photo, taken probably in 1971, of us together in the driveway of one of those various places I still think of as 'home'.
Which led me to this song.

'A photograph of a summer's day, a little boy's lifetime away'
I see that it's Father's Day back in the US (and in other parts of the world, though not here in Germany), and, without wanting to be a downer or anything, it occurred to me that this year will mark 25 years since my own father died.

Great post. I saw Billy play "Tank Park" in Milwaukee (front row) a couple of years ago. It was the only time I ever cried my eyes out at a concert. Here it is! I love youtube.

I had the chance, in Washington, DC, sometime in the late 90s, to tell Billy how much this song meant to me. I was 17 when my father died. There were tears shed. And a hug shared. It is one of those Most Important Moments saved in my brain.
