Old Danny Francis by Roger Lehman

A song that I wrote about a good friend of mine, when I lived in Hocking County (Ohio). He was my next door neighbor (in the country), a WWII vet, and a very zany guy, always clowning around. A lot of people never took him that seriously, but that's because they never took the time to discover his deeper side. He was 30 years older than me and he fought on Okinawa beach when he was only 17 years old. We used to drink wine and tell tales on my back porch. He passed away in 2006 and I'll miss him for the rest of my life. There are very few men left like him in the world anymore.
