Excellent writing and performing on this one Dirk. I added this video to the "Acoustic Vocal Sept2010" playlist on The Songwriters Collection Channel....Kathy
I love this Dirk! It's really cool how a facebook quote (or anything like that) can inspire a song. I love hearing stories like that. Great song, and I love the mandolin in it too.
@berean315 Thank you, Gerald! Between 11 and 14 I played the second mandolin in the mandolin orchestra of a neighboring village. I had free lessons for a while before I joined the orchestra. This is still the instrument I used to play then, I have just put new strings on it (the old ones were totally rusty) and adjusted the saddle. It's an Italian model. My parents bought it from one of the other players of the orchestra. Unfortunately it has no name tag, so I don't really know what brand it is.

Like it Dirk! The mandolin tremolo and picking sounds good. Didn't know you played mandolin. What kind is it?
