"I Wish Grandpas Never Died"(2019)- Riley Green acoustic cover by Steve

"I Wish Grandpas Never Died" is a song requested by my 19 year old grandson Dominic. It was co-written and recorded by American country music singer Riley Green along with Buford Green and Lendon Bonds. It is the 3rd single from his debut album "Different 'Round Here". Dedicatiing the song to his two late grandfathers, Riley credits them as co-writers on a track that has been streamed 130 million times in 2022 alone. This song reminds me of my grandparents who worked a farm near Petaluma, California when I was a kid, and they even had a porch with a swing! They will always be with me. I really hope you like my cover of this song Dom... it's for you!!🤗 Thanks very much everyone for watching my rendition of this great song that is very emotional for me. Kindest regards......Steve

Hi Steve. You have expanded my horizons, my friend. This is a great song and you play it well. The songwriter might have changed his views about Bud Light, however, lol

Thanks very much for watching John! Yes... I agree about the Bud light 😱... At least upgrade to regular Bud or go really risky with the nice IPA 👍 probably weren't too many choices around my grandpa's time! Have a great Saturday John!!
