He Ain't Heavy He's My Brother Hollies Cover

it's the 33rd anniversary today of my oldest brother's death in 1979. which was followed 4 years later by my other brother's death.. I dedicate this song to them, because I love them.. Also I must say, although they were my brothers, they were heavy (regardless of what the song says), carrying them to their graves... I participated in carrying them both, as well as both of my parents, to their graves.. They were all heavy.. on my body, and on my heart...Of course the large coffins may have contributed.. Regardless, I think of them, and I really love them all, every single damn day.. And I miss them all so much.. May they all rest in the peace of Christ. I hope they still pray for me every day, as I do for them..

Your chords and voicings are honest gold and all those that be close to you are so lucky to have you on Tap... Great Mate, that's from the heart of a Kiwi. But I seem to have an abundance of hair, you're welcome to it anytime LOL. Cheers Mate , Bless ya Heart.

One of the most beautiful songs for me and a truly fantastic rendition. It would be great to see you play that on the guitar. Thanks so much!

Larry: Great dedication to your brothers. Very moving, however; you have always played from the heart and that's what makes you special. Take care bud and keep making a difference............Thibodea­u

Very beautiful and heartfelt performance, what a great way to remember and honor them (with one of your brilliant videos.) I'm so sorry about your sorrow that is weighing on your mind and heart even today. I feel the same way about 3 of my grandparents who I lost at about the same time (slightly earlier) then your eldest brother. I have always loved this song. Bless you.

Nice cover. Really heartfelt tribute to your family. I spent 13 years in a group that saw this song as almost a personal anthem. To that group brother was more than a blood tie. There are still some I would give that title to, however it is no longer my title. As for my real family, this holiday season was my first without my brother who I lost suddenly in October. It has been a while since I had my parents so that wound has begun to heal, although these things never really get easier do they?

This was my first Christmas without my Dad. Things will never be the same. "The empty chair" is hard to take. Maybe he is better off, but I'm not. I still burst out crying alone in my car sometimes and it's almost been a year now. Also, my number 2 best friend will have been gone two years this April. He brought a spirit of fun-loving joy to everyone who knew him. I don't never forget my loved ones, no matter how long they're gone. Hope somehow I do see them again. Thanks Larry. You care.

My dream is to meet you one day and to jam with you Larry! If you ever come to Birmingham, Alabama you have a place to stay! God Bless you, as you are my idol as a musician 205-915-3234
