happy tunesday! ("dear dad" by dave edmunds")


It's a day late, but...whatever. Yesterday was my dad's birthday. It was also Dave Edmunds' birthday. So here's Dave Edmunds doing a song about a dad.

This is actually a Chuck Berry song -- one of Chuck's lesser know numbers. The main conceit is that it's a college kid writing to his father, asking for help replacing his car because "I might as well be walking as to drive this old Ford." I just love the twist ending.
