The Medley recorded live.....45 years ago ;)

[TAE]

One of our originals...

The Medley was written by Barry Barringer the lead singer in the video. It was written as a tribute to young children that are taken from this world too young too early. Both Barry and his sister lost a child and they are mentioned in the song...

I have transcribed the lyrics as best I can below..

The wall's to high for me to kick down
I take my teachings there
Seems the good must die young
My mind can't see the fair
The only thing that I know
Some day's are filled with blue
Physical being was taken away
But there's love and memories in this tune

Charmie I will be high and then won't you come with me
and lay with me, lay with me, oh lay with me

I know the young should have lived
But I can't stop feeling too
I can look back with a smile
Just thinking bout what they'd do
They have a name, they have a song
That is something death can't steal

Joshua Shawn, Charma Rene
I know they are real

Have you seen me there
Charmie I will be high
and then won't you come with me
and lay with me, lay with me, oh lay with me


You are floating with the wind
want to grab it but you're at the end
coming fast, it's coming strong
looking for something to last long
you won't see it, it's in your mind
well it's been there all the time
you'll never find what's down there
The good things, you're unaware

Thanks Randy... This place has a lot of cool attributes that are sadly diluted to null these days. 20 years ago HR.com was one of only a handful of such places.
Today with the overwhelming array of places a musician can go to ask questions and share music, recording experiences and techniques it's value is lost in the shuffle..
But for us old timers here it is still a place to come and say hey and we still get some cool info and people that have joined and visit regularly in the journey here.
