about

A simple appreciation + celebration for all of the friends in my life
Some who have been there forever + the many who passed through leaving lasting impressions

COVER ART INFO:
I chose the 1928 John Sloan painting entitled “McSorley’s Cats”
for the “A Toast to Friends” Single
Little known fact:
My wife’s family founded the legendary McSorley’s Pub in NYC around 1851
John Sloan 1871-1951
Fair Use
McSorley's Old Ale House NYC

lyrics

As I sit here and raise a glass,
To all I've known as friends
Most have have moved on, all've come and gone, A few, already dead

To the friends I've had forever and the many who've faded away
To those I'll meet tomorrow
And to those we won't see again...

I've no regrets, a life well lived
In part to most of these friends
Most have moved on, It's a bitter sweet song
That all roads come to an end.

To those who worked beside me,
To the teachers who showed me the world
My mates in the band, the forgotten names of all the beautiful girls...

As we grow old, collecting the years
And sing the songs that we made
I sit here and raise a glass to all I've know as friends

To all my lifelong friends

To all our long gone friends
