What is a Man / lyrics: Dave van Rijn / music: michael hermiston

[@davidvanrijn3645]

Holy crap, you did it again, turned some peons blathering into a precious, solid, beautiful piece! I am so amazed and impressed that you can lift words off the page and make them fly into the channels of our minds, where they can have a life of their own that speaks to the colours and shapes of every mind. Thank you ichael!

The way you put this together, and the way you deliver it, is simply beautiful Michael. Wonderful performance! Inspiration does come in waves, and sometimes unexpectedly. What a treat!!!

Such a beautiful and reflective tune for manhood, Michael and Dave. The video is so well put together, and the lyrics and performance is top notch. A guitar and a hammer is a powerful tool. :) Janet

[@Herfortz]

I remember when I was just a tad, asking my dad "Daddy ...... What is a man?" ....... That's when he swung around and pointed at my mom.

[@philipperoy5211]

Nice Melody and nice sharing too. Have a great day and see you soon my friend. Philippe

Sadly, being a masculine man isn't very fashionable these days.

[@kidderminsterbro]

hey brother john i hear you. i am reminded of a todd rundgren song with the line "it's still in style to have no style". we are always bombarded by fashion. i will try to stick to having no "fashion". peace, rich

[@michaelhermiston]

Dave will be delighted to read your comments!! thanks

Bit of a downer and hopeful at tge same time v

[@EnormouslySmall]

I haven't made up my mind whether Dave's lyrics are meant to be tongue in cheek or not. Of course, I'm the kind of person who laughs at the wrong times, but I have to admit some of these lines made my mouth twitch. It's good work in any case from both of you, but I can't help suspecting the presence of a joke.

[@davidvanrijn3645]

hi ES, i can attest that no joke was intended but I think there's some in there anyway!

[@michaelhermiston]

thanks Don, you'll have to ask Dave where his tongue lies.... the photos give a sense of the era from which i sing 😉

[@EnormouslySmall]

@@davidvanrijn3645 Sorry, Dave.

[@davidvanrijn3645]

@@EnormouslySmall Ok lets be transparent , the harmonica line was purely accidental, truly!
