Jess,I do believe it was recorded and written by Bob Franke. I just checked the Digitrad Database and it has the song. Just type in [for real] in the search slot in the upper right hand corner of this page. If that is daunting (it is a skill you should learn) just CLICK HERE and the link will take you right to it. As you should have just experienced, the Digitrad Database is a wonderful resource of traditional and modern folk music lyrics. Some lyrics come with a tune via midi technology.
Welcome to the Forum, come back and visit sometime. As it says "New stuff every day," and wonderful discussions.
Enjoy the song! Roger in Baltimore
