Great sound and great story. Is that an actual bass Nat is playing? She sure made it seem that way!

Great song,  with great lyrics and music!😊

I like this song, as see some of myself in it. Do like your mandolin/vocals, and Nat's touches...

Ok....haven't listened yet, but I nominate this one for song title of the decade.  I actually have a neice and a nephew named Avery.  And yes, I've already started work on my new song, called "Durgy".

Well, SC disappeared my follow up, so I'll try again....this style song reminds of some old traditional Johnny Cash or Johnny Horton ballads, back to early 60's or even late 50's.  Acoustic instrumentation is clear & strong too.

Mighty fine storytelling and performance, Durge!

Oh this is great Craig , well bloody done !

lovely instrumental part here, you have a great western voice!

.... with huge thanks to Hendrik @cosmic-ratzzz !
for his fabulous backdrop to feature my humble sax solo !

Upper Rooms - Bent Fragments Rondo

This song tells the tale of a young man that grew up without his father. Raised by his mother in the vicinity of the Rock Mountains, the father abandoned his wife to become a mountain man. But nobody ever knew for certain what became of him. The son is driven to seek him out now that he's come of age, much to his mother's distress.

Lyrics:      Avery by Craig Durgy

Twenty years ago in June, you're daddy went away
And with a baby coming soon, I begged for him to stay
He said he needed time alone, away from folks and telephones
He promised to return a better man
But as he grabbed his rifle, his backpack and a knife, well
I could see he had his freedom in his hand  
 
Avery oh Avery, stubborn as a man can be
Avery, those Rocky Mountains set your daddy free.
Oh Avery, following the footsteps of your dad
Will leave me sad, in misery

The days grew long that he had gone and then the baby came
All the other folks in town just said it was a shame
And as the baby grew the father that it never knew
Would never even send a letter in the mail
Perhaps the Rockies swallowed him and all the fears that followed him
Perhaps he made his life out on the trail   

Avery oh Avery, stubborn as a man can be
Avery, those Rocky Mountains set your daddy free.
Oh Avery, following the footsteps of your dad
Will leave me sad, in misery

Avery, a mother sees, it in her baby’s eyes
That’s the look your father took, when we said our goodbyes
So as you head out of that door, unsure of what you’re looking for
I know that mountain air is calling you
And even if you never find, the ghost of being left behind
I know you’re doing what you have to do   

Avery oh Avery, stubborn as a man can be
Avery, those Rocky Mountains set your daddy free.
Oh Avery, following the footsteps of your dad
Will leave me sad, in misery
Following the footsteps of your dad
Leaves momma sad, in misery…Oh Avery
