@alex240101,
Hey, alex. Wow! that song by Robby Robertson was a great way to start the day. Very sensual and I loved it. Thanks, buddy.
Well, folks, Thanksgiving will be the anniversary of my daddy's demise. I've been looking for this song for a long time. Here is the jazz version, replete with lyrics, folks.

everyone knows him as "old folks"
like the seasons, he'll come and he'll go
just as free as a bird, and as good as his word
that's why everybody loves him so
always leaving his spoon in his coffee
tucks his napkin up under his chin
and his yellow corn pipe, it's so mellow it's ripe
but you needn't be ashamed of him
every friday he'll go fishin'
way down on buzzard's bay
but he only hooks a perch or two
"a whale got away..."
and so we warm up the steak
can't quite understand about old folks
did he fight for the blue or the gray?
'cause he's so diplomatic, so democratic
we always let him have his way.
every evenin,' right after supper,
what stories he would tell
how he held the speech at gettysberg for lincoln that day
...I know that one so well
someday there'll be no more old folks
what a lonely old world this'll be
children's voices at play
will be still for a day
the day that they take old folks
away
