@cadjunk It took me a long time to find a photograph of a person who looked as if he had a satisfied mind. Nevertheless, it was one of those songs that I had known for so long that the vocals did not take too long. The steel pestered me for a few weeks, I remember. I have sent on the other song. Hope it is audible! It is most gratifying to share these little recordings. I shall reply to your other mail shortly.
@wilmaohman According to the composers, the wisdom of the words came from a mother and a father. Whether we shall be as courageous aand convinced as the writers, I am not sure, but at least we have an example to try to live up to, which makes sense.
@wilmaohman I quite agree about the common sense in the words, though I was wondering about whether or not I might be able to adhere to common sense "when it comes my time" and "leave" without any apprehension.
Today, I have noticed that in many spheres of what is referred to as "communication", the words "common sense" have hopped out the window, and a multitude of substitutes are being found every five minutes. Let us keep a firm grip on common sense, Thank you, Tim
Well John, I heard the song a great many years ago too, and thought it was time to do it again. I live in France now, and enjoy fiddling about on the pedal steel and guitars. Thank you for your compliments. Whether we'll have the wisdom contained in the words when the call comes, I am not quite as sure as the writer, but we can only hope.
Ever since you told me about the "fil rouge", I have been paying attention! It took me ages to find the photos and "The Satisfied Man" in black and white.
Hey Tim, this is one of the best songs of all times, not to include how truthful the lyrics are. You certainly did a wonderful and very professional creation with this song. Love the doubletime type of backing you did on this song. Never heard it done that way and it is a great arrangement. All thumbs UP here my friend. MANY THANKS FOR SHARING, C.W.
Had not heard your reflections on "There's nothing I can do about it now", the song would not have come back to me; so YOUR enjoyment came from MY memory's being jogged by YOUR lyrics. Though initially, I said that the lyrics were excessively optimistic, we can only hope, if we are given time to think about how we might accept having to say farewell, that we'll be able to display the same fortitude as the writers felt was theirs, everyday feelings written by talented people. Thanks C.W. Tim.
Love your version of this one, Tim - Wonderful job!! Thanks for sharing. Gwen

Great version of the song! What a wisdom in the words. Heard the song many years ago, live in Holland, by John McCutcheon. Thanks!
