about

Disc One closes with final song (#12) “Never Said Good-Bye,” memorializing the loss and untimely death of Roger, a close personal friend, featuring sensitive vocals provided by one of these singers, Carolyn McSween.

As a solo artist, McSween would later become the opening act at the inaugural concert of The Front Porch Country Band. Ultimately, she would headline as “McSween” for her 2007 world tour of China, supported by players from this band, who would also provide instrumental backing on her popular first album, “All Out.”

This is one of two additional tracks from this album also representing the prowess of these players while backing other artists.

“Many Times” (#10) was also a studio recording for the potential new girl-band “Taylor-McSween-Hormell” with all backing instrumentation provided by these players.

Never knew that you’d be leavin’
I don’t know the reason why
I never dreamed that you’d just slip away
Never heard you say good bye

Guess I somehow missed the warning
In the bright red morning sky
Now I’ve lost you in the setting sun
And I never said good bye

Once the world was young
Our dreams were new and life was fine
Now the dreams are gone what life remains is
Once Upon A Time

Every day was lost in laughter
But every night you cried alone
And now forever is a long long time
How will you make it on your own

Did I reach you with the message
And did I take the time to try
I’m just searching for some meaning now
And I never said good bye

Once the world was young
Our dreams were new and life was fine
But now the hope is gone what life remains is just
Once upon a time

Still I’ll always hold your smile
And when the pain is gone I’ll try
To remember all the good "good times”
When we never said good bye

Still I’ll always hold your smile
And when the pain is gone I’ll try
To remember all the good “good times”
When we never said good bye

I don’t know the reason why
We never said good bye
