I hope you've reassessed the grades you assigned yourself as a Dad in 'Finisterre' by now Adam? "If I had to give myself a grade as a father and husband, then it would be a C+ or maybe a B-..." Maybe you should get the kids to do it instead!

That is very kind of you and probably more true than not, but not all of this stuff is rational.

Love the song recording and, well, your whole sentiment as a father. I have two younger ones 9 and 13 and this post felt like my older self was talking to me.

Thank you. He doesn’t need to. Clearly you know this already. If you like, I can pass him a message at 59. He says he misses you. 😊

I love this, the song, the recording and the sentiment. It's lovely and tender. As an aging dad who also happens to write songs and had similar aspirations for my kids, I can identify.

Thank you, Ben. As an aging dad, I’m glad I have it still as a touchstone. Thanks for sharing it.

Slightly belated congrats to your son, and your whole family. Great song - Harry Chapin needed someone like you in his life, Adam.
