Ben Keith lives on in this new rap song

Post by Quentin Hickey »

Not what youre gonna expect but I love the original so I thought I would share it. The recording artist is Redlight King
I'm not a rap fan persay but this song has some taste.
Especially since it has Ben on steel :wink:

I guess my father wouldn't have cared for the original very much back than. I don't care for this, now that I'm on the other side of the generation gap. :eek:

That's quite philosophical of you. So basically you're saying you're a lot like him.:D

I think you're right Tim, it didn't mean to say this, but now that I think of it, it's true.
There's song by Jackson Browne where he sings about him and his father and how they never really got to talk to each other before it was to late. I heard it once, it made me cry.
