old man me - frank hutton / hutson
i was inspired to look this up after remembering an old mix. what a great tune.
i love reading youtube comment sections like this... all the family members paying their respects to good old uncle frank from oakland, california and his wonderful limited press record...! (very limited - if you can still find it today, it'll run you about $400)Sunday, July 8, 2018
