Mandrill - House Of Wood

[@charlesfisher770]

This song came out the year my grand father passed it brings back memories of him and how the church was filled. Vic Fisher you left a strong legacy of generations of bass singers in the norristown and philly area though there may be others ri power one day we will meet again and sing bass in heaven thank yo gand pa for your legacy love you

I found out about Mandrill in the early 200'0's when I was on a quest to find some great funk music. I am from Long Island but found them on a jukebox in Annapolis Maryland of all places. I saw them in 2004 at the Prospect Park bandshell. My brother and I , two white boys from the suburbs dancing around , surely stuck out like a sore thumb. My all time favorite funk band and this is a beautiful example of writing , harmony and grace woven together as a tribute to a lost matriarch of their family. No better eulogy I've ever heard. Grandpa had a sendoff only fairy tales are made of.

I was a 14year old runaway when I first heard this song and it really lifted my spirits and I actually felt all alone at that time. My surrogate father took me in and I was surprised that he did and I felt for the first time since my grandmother bought me to Philadelphia a father's love and became his first son godfather. He taught me a lot and made sure that I went to school. I felt the need to go further at seventeen and then my father got saved and stopped drinking and we both made amends afterwards I enlisted in the United States army and I am his only son who actually followed his foot steps as he was a veteran who caught in the Korean war which made extremely proud of me and three years later he passed away on my shoulder from a massive heart attack.😢. At least I had my father for three years and I was and still is greatful . I miss you DAD and dedicate this song to YOO❤.

[@Passionate4music1]

My mama loved this song so much. I think of her and knows she and my dad are resting in peace. CLASSIC ⭐️️⭐️️⭐️️⭐️️⭐️️

[@janicecode4599]

THIS IS REALLY A CLASSIC OLDIE. I LOVED IT THEN AND I STILL LOVE IT NOW

[@ericwashington4470]

I've been following them since the late 60's and their top hit "Fence Walk" which helped inspired me to become a drummer back in the day. They didn't get the recognition which they are due.

[@davidbrown5132]

I was a teenager when this song came out, it really means more to me now after having lost so many who have past away. Thanks for the memories Mandrill!

[@juliuslindsay2306]

Wow, this song was just what I need about now, I was just 14 or 13 when it came out and it reminds me of my grandfather. The wisdom that he gave me, the problem was I was just too stupid to understand. I loved that man and now I can understand more of what he was saying. Great song.

[@everettrogerssr.1637]

I remember this song I was introduced to it by my brother, sitting back on my bed smoking out.Played this song 10 times straight. I think the lead singer folklore voice drew me in. The musical arrangement was amazing too. One of my all time favorite.

[@amandaking714]
