Life is a book that we study,
Some of its leaves bring a sigh.
There it was written, my buddy,
That we must part, you and I.
Nights are long since you went away,
I think about you all through the day.
My buddy, my buddy, your buddy misses you.
I've hit a speedbump on the road of life. I've been thinking about my friend Claire a lot lately. She passed away unexpectedly this past June. This is the time of year we would be talking of going on a roadtrip to New Orleans. It was one of her favorite places to visit (mine too). We always had a dream of going there and listening to Dr. John play the piano and sing our favorite tunes. Because we'll never get the chance to go (dying has a way of derailing future plans), when I saw this kit "Old Town" by Joe Designs at Oscraps I decided to take us there anyway.
The song "My Buddy" was one Dr. John sung on his "In A Sentimental Mood" album, and a personal favorite of mine. I thought it would be very appropriate to use here.
I used Joe Design's kit "Old Town" and Holliewood Studio's "All Hallows Eve", both from Oscraps
