Drinking Cherry Wine - Written in 1967

[Gary Blanchard]

or 1968. This is not the first song I wrote, but is the oldest song in my song list. Every 16-year-old should right a song about aging.

This is played on the Luna Blue Eclipse with bass and synth pad from a cheap Yamaha keyboard. This song always makes me think of my older brother Kenneth; we used to sing this song together back in the day.

Very cool. I'll bet that song carries quite a few memories.

It sure does.Many years after my brother Ken passed, my younger brother and I would do the song together.

I will say I experience it in a different way now than I did when I first wrote it.

Getting a few extra miles down the road will do that to a person.
