You just can't pick your family, and I could have been a bit luckier, Folks. I wish you all the best with yours. God bless, Clay

THE FAMILY
Lyric & Music/Clay Brian Wilson

Verse: People never stop to think about family
What does it mean?
It’s the foundation
Or the alienation of their lives.
THE FAMILY that cares together
Share together.
If disapproval is deep
It can be a source of love to keep.

Verse: People never stop to love enough family
What it can mean.
It’s the foundation
Or the degradation of their lives.
THE FAMILY that hopes together
Cope together.
If troubles darken the soul
It can be a source of love for growth. Oh yeah.

Tag: Learn to love THE FAMILY
And may the dreams of today
Be visions of tomorrow.
Oh yes, oh yeah.

Coda: Oh, oh, oh, oh.

Hi Clay. I thought I'd drop around and see how you are doing. I don't recall this one but I haven't plundered all of your back catalogue (yet). There's some drop outs in the audio for some reason. Anyway, this is a tonic in trying times. Love your work as always. Reminds me of a Syd Barret strum, but the voice and character are all your inimitable self. My best to you as always.

Dear John, It's very kind of you what you say here, my dear friend! I don't hear dropouts in the audio but then I don't have anywhere near as fine of an ear as you, Brother. Thank you very much for listening, and your new song on here is pure GENIUS! God bless you and Sue! Your friend and fan with love always, Clay

Hey Clay... How have you been? Is that a pic of you playing the banjo? Do you remember me from the old AP days? It's CarbonCat !! I just added the first name Quiggy because that's what my kids used to call peops10 years ago! Come and check out some of my new/old stuff. You are a classic... keep on keepin' on... love all your stuff. Whatever happened to Duffy, your partner in crime!! I think my handle here is fetter339... I should fix that.

Yes, Bill that me playing the banjo at age 12 or 13. That banjo I got from my friend Jay Madden at the time. Yes, John Duffin is on Magix under the name JohnZSmith. I love the man. God bless, Clay
