Thanks Scott, Gary. Gary, you are not going to believe this... what are the odds two dudes like us would have a moment with Puff The Magic Dragon lately... but...
About a week ago, I was thinking of folk songs that got my attention as a young teenager when I was first discovering music. I was searching for a sing-along cover song for acoustic folkie gigs. And Puff... I decided that might be the perfect choice. What a classic that is.
Glad you guys like it. I write so much, it's hard to tell sometimes whether a song is exceptional. (And you guys see only a small fraction of what I write.) This one, I had the general story in mind and a couple of key phrases because this story is true. But I had to really work to get a good lyric and melody. As of last night when I (hopefully) completed it, I was satisfied that it is a good song. I bet I get some sugar tonight, haha, as I will see her and play it for her. Hot off the press.
