Ralph Covert: The Accidental Soundtrack

Years Down The Line

6/20/2014

This song dates back to my early days on the scene in Chicago. I was playing a lot of open mic nights, cutting my teeth as a performer, and I found an early home at the Earl Of Old Town Pub on Lincoln Avenue. I would saunter in with my battered acoustic, nicknamed Alley Guitar, balanced on my shoulder like a hobo's crutch, and try out my songs. Years Down The Line became a private anthem for a number of us, including my dear friend and fellow songwriter Dahlia Goldstein, whose early passing inspired the song Squeezing The Puzzle Together.

Me and My Near-Blind Hindsight was the song I played for Steve that persuaded him to join The Bad Examples all those years ago. We still love singing it together. It originally appeared on the Kisses 50 cents album. Mike's keyboard part adds just the right touch to bring this version home.
