Man, this is pleasantly listenable. Who did what parts (father vs son?). I was initially thinking I wanted to hear some vocals in here, then ended up thinking I did not. It's a loose jazzy beach vibe, doesn't need vox. Nice work :)
Hey, @negativer! I'm glad you thought so! :) I played the acoustic guitar bits, and @jonknight performed the keys and synth bass. There is a kick drum in there, too, not sure who clicked that into existence :D Thanks a lot for listening and commenting, man! :)
When I think back, seems to me that this is the very first thing we ever worked on together, musically. I was actually quite worried about that. My musical skills are so far below yours, my talent practically nil.
I worried that you would see I was just a bumbling old meh of a man. Command of the physical universe is worth nothing, compared to being just the guy who is your father.
I listen to this every day to remind me. I hope I never forget. Thanks, man... for every little thing.
Well, you were always my inspiration to get into music in the first place. I think as long as I can remember I "was a guitarist", and I always looked up to you as a musician. Some of my most fulfilling and favored memories are listening to and talking about music with you. Thank you, Dad! There's no way to qualify how much I owe to you. I love you!

I am owed nothing. My life is a blessing and as such, a gift I never deserved. All love is yours, as it always is.
<3 Love you, Dad!
I have heard this song many times and love it. Your reenactment of events is epic. Love it! :)
Hehehe I couldn't remember the exact circumstance so had to approximate ;)

This was a lot of fun to write! Haha. I really enjoyed the cat references xD
