Wrote this song in Ottawa 1985 .  I was watching a young dad play with his little boy in the park.  It was fall many of the leaves were down and they were having a ball ! To think I had the same experiences with my two sons and daughter years later ... kids ... such gifts !
Will record again with other instruments in a few weeks

Father and Son at Play   						Ottawa Oct. 1984

 
I’ll get ya dad, cause I’m stronger
The boy cries in the park!
I’ll pull your shirt and I’ll flip ya
He races around the tree …  and gets caught!

Chorus:

Father and son at play
On this cool, sunny fall day
Frisbee in hand and child in hand
The roll amongst the leaves and grass
And laugh, oh they laugh, the day away!

Catch it son with two hands
As the Frisbee floats between
Try again you can do it
As the Frisbee floats past,        his face beams!

Chorus:

BREAK :      Repeat chorus in instrumental


The boy’s and man with his dad
They walk back to the car
Dad’s a kid from bounds
Accept for the love,           of father and son!

Chorus           2 X

Take These Beads is a family and friend collaboration - an inspiring story of family connection in the face of PTSD.
I have some new banjo and guitar tunes up on YouTube. I'm really enjoy the musical connection to all styles around the world. 

As the former Director of Spiritual Care at a downtown Hospital, and Licensed Counsellor specializing in Grief , Loss and Life Transitions I have journey with patients and families in personal, grief and spiritual matters. I enjoyed using my guitar, banjo  and music in this setting, a gift to share when appropriate!

I am new to the recording side of things. My guitar (Larivee) does not sound nearly as crisp plugged in so need to mic it before posting more. (Jan 2014) That was pointed out from a music industry friend.  I started playing clawhammer style banjo around 2016 - I love it!Hope you enjoy
