Dean Young Perspective on That Guitar

I grew up with country music.
My Dad was a well known country musician from his home town area in Quebec and here where I grew up in the Niagara Region of Ontario Canada. He was Plant Manager of the Port Colborne Dairy and then Rich Products of Canada for many years before retiring due to health issues.

That Guitar is about the connection my Dad had with music and the influence it had on me while growing up, as well as the loss of Dad through both the devastating impact of Vascular Dementia (Alzheimer's) and later his passing in September 2018 from the disease and complications with his heart. I wrote this song as a tribute to his life with this guitar.

One of the hardest songs for me to write. 
The goal was to "express a very sad situation without the song sounding sad".
My Dad gave me music and there was always music surrounding us. The song is about the guitar that I remember so dearly from my early childhood, as he worked to provide for his family...I wanted to share this part of my life without it sounding "sad" & I think the Producer Jason (Barrytone Studios) and I accomplished that.
