As a child, my closest companion was my brother. Older by less the year, my brother, along with my imagination, was my chief form of entertainment, escape, adventure, and support. As we have aged and raised children of our own, mostly boys, that bond of brotherhood remained. It transcends hardship, competition, trial, tribulation, tragedy, remorse, regret, envy, jealousy, anger, and even grief. Fosters harmony, respect, loyalty, empathy, camaraderie, esprit de corps and love. For some it can be the one true thread that runs through a life, beginning to end. Witnessing that same bond amongst our sons, was on my mind when this song came through my hands. My sonic brother, Steve Reinthal, one of my favourite guitarists on the planet, plays the accompaniment.
