Hey bartender. Got any duck food?

Always saw him at Troubles!

I first heard this done live by Gamble Rogers. Yeah, that's going back a ways, but if you're here and listening, chances are you go back a ways, too. I remember standing there with my mouth hanging open; the song affected me that much. Steve Goodman's version,thought way back when I hadn't heard this one, couldn't be beat. I was wrong. This, without a doubt, is the best.

Steve Goodman does a beautiful rendition of this as well.

Tom Dundee

I miss Tom.

Nice! I grew up at 1920 Thornwood.

tom was a real pal. was scheduled to a perform at the heartland cafe with Alice Stewart. Tom passed, I got the cell phone call from the emergency room. Alice played, along with many others, Will get date, hope we can find some video ,,, Miss Tom bigtimel

So beautiful and moving, what a gift for Dr. Linda Kinkel, and the rest of us. Thank you, Eric.

Hey Eric. Any idea why this video became so degraded? I turned a friend on to your version, but unfortunately it’s become unlistenable. Your version is better than Michael’s!

First time I've heard this by Tom. I first heard it by Reilly & Maloney in the 80s. Just finished "Face the Music" about Steve Goodman, several mentions of Tom inspired me to look this up. A fine song. BTW: anyone know who the dedication at the beginning is about?

Walked into my husband's office a few minutes ago and he had another rendition of this song up on KZbin. I remember hearing this on the old WNEW-FM in NYC years and years ago (back in the 1970s or 80s, before they became an "Adult Contemporary" station) -- but I don't know if it was the Steve Goodman version, this version, or someone else's. I do know that at some point in the more recent past I tracked down the lyrics online, because I always found it to be a beautiful (if incredibly sad) song.

Lovely tribute to your mom and how much you loved her. ❤️

NICELY DONE

I love the guitar harmonics at the end, a very nice touch.

one of the greatest songwriters ever - and this maybe his greatest most beautiful songs. My favorite song ever. Michael Smith lives in our hearts always.

We were very good acquaintances in Seattle In the late 70's/early 80's. One of the nicest people I've ever known. I was shocked when I learned of his death a few years back. He's really changed the arrangement of Delicate Balance here from the version I was used to.

Really nice cover, and you have a fantastic voice! So good to hear others performing Nez songs. Michael Nesmith doesn't get the recognition he deserves as a primo singer-songwriter!

I first heard this song, and another called “Car” done by the great autoharp player, Bryan Bowers back in the 80’s. Great musicians, both. And two great songs, as well.

That was strong. Beautiful voice Mr Kinkle- and an emotional rendition of this chestnut by the late, great Michael Peter Smith.

Lovely, Eric!

Damn. Great cover, Eric

what a song and what a performance !

Nicely done Eric! 💕

Just heard an old interview and performance from you on 88.5 in St. Pete ... was absolutely transfixed. You are a true talent, sir.

I miss him too. We did a duo for a short time in the 90s. We drove accross the country and made terrible time. Stopping here for pie and coffee, there to shoot a few hoops at a high school. The boy knew how to live. I've just added a video of Tom and I singing a John Prine song together on my channel. Check it out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/laOboYCGl9iSl8U.

We were friends at DePaul, Beautiful man..glad to hear him again

I can't get hear... The sound os so bad...

Thanks for posting these. I miss Tom.

I miss you...

Horrible song

His songs gave a timeline to my life. He is sadly and deeply missed among those who follow the Chicago folk scene. RIP Tom.

really cool daddyo

I sure miss my ol' friend

Tom was an old friend from St. Jerome grade school in Rogers Park - Tom Callahan was his name then .A great song writer and performer.

Sure miss Dundee

Love Reilly and Maloney and Tom Dundee - Miss him

One of my all time favorites.
