48 Years—This Old Guitar No. 6

1970-The Floating Song

In early 1970, living in Berea, Ohio, a suburb of Cleveland, I got connected with a fella named Jim. He was a singer and he had a pretty daggone good voice. We formed a little duo called M&J and we wrote a bunch of songs together. The Floating Song is one of the first.

My guitar pickin’ capabilities had been slowly improving in those days, and this particular tune—a song about a horse—really stretched me guitar-wise. Lyrically speaking, The Floating Song is kind of quirky and a bit mysterious as to meaning. Hey, we were experimenting! But it is kinda fun too. I think you’ll enjoy it.
