Larry Garrett's Family-Friendly-Music      

This song is about trying to make the most out of your life.  While some folks see the glass as half-empty, others see it half-full.  It's from my CD, "A Rope Around The Wind." Copyright (C) Larry Garrett

This is the title track from my CD, "My Old Neighborhood."  The song came from a conversation my wife and I were having as we drove through "my" old neighborhood. Copyright (C) Larry Garrett

This song is a musical prayer.  I got the inspiration from Johnny Cash's rendition of "Bury Me Not, On The Lone Prairie." Copyright (C) Larry Garrett

A couple of years ago, one of my aunts died.  Her daughter, my cousin Valerie, came back to town for the funeral.  Valerie and I had been raised together.  We had not seen each other for many, many years. Copyright (C) Larry Garrett

This song was inspired by letters that my father wrote to my mother while he was fighting in WWII. Copyright (C) Larry Garrett

This is an easy-going rendition of Wildwood Flower (played on a dobro), taken from the original melody written by Maud Irving in approx 1860. Contrary to popular belief, the song was not written by A.P. Carter of the legendery Carter Family.

A song about my wife. Copyright (C) Larry Garrett

Kendell Core was a mentally-disabled man who walked Independence Avenue for decades.  I was fortunate to be his friend, as thousands of others were.  He was truly "The King of Independence Avenue." Copyright (C) Larry Garrett

Just an introspective look back at life.  Copyright (C) Larry Garrett

My view of life when I was a young man, no cares, no worries, no brains.

This song is dedicated to the dogs I've owned throughout my life: past, present, and future.  The loss is tough, but the memories are sweet.
