To Love Somebody - A-92 - 88 .mp3

I wrote There Was A Time in 2012. I was getting ready to make a trip to Syracuse, NY, my old stomping grounds. I had arranged for two live performance dates while there and I wanted a couple of new tunes to perform. When the drummer heard my version he said, "Is this how you want the drums played?" It kind of hurt my feelings so I decided not to perform the tune and sat on it for the next eight years. And, during the recording process, I did remove the entire drum section except for at the very end. While it is a bit outside the theme of Park North, lyrically and musically I believe it is a very powerful song. Somehow it did not end up in my Poetry from a Road Scholar book. I don't know how that happened. Also, yes, it is more of a blues tune, it does not follow the traditional 'blues lead' paradigm and the simple piano in the bridge knocks it out of the park.
