Absent Friends

I first heard this sung by Vin Garbutt and it made a big impression on me. I am often asked for this one when playing with the Middlewich Paddies and here it is.

Love this song, I can understand it better when you sing it you have a beautiful clear voice, this song has made me cry so many times before but never as much as now.

@BeaTrikzie Thank you that's very kind :)

My dad died 13 years ago and not a day passes that I don't miss him; this song says it all and you sing it so beautifully. Thank you for posting it.

@Sarricel Thanks very much. I remember my Brother who died too young :)

I'll let him know, he's my dad

[gdaneuk]

@samthemanc I hope he likes my version:)

[gdaneuk]

They don't usually sing on this one anyway :)

i agree with kaysie0160, lovely song, but where are the rest of the paddies??

[PMiddy001]

Your a talented guy! I enjoyed it a lot. 5 stars
