Lyr Req: Nolan's Song (Kerri Powers)

Subject: 'He's My Son' -- song and singer?
From: Mark Cohen

Just listening to WUMB's "contemporary folk" stream, and I heard a song that I'd like to learn and learn more about, who wrote it, who sings it (I suspect they're the same person). It's about a young boy, was sung by his mother, clearly a folk musician. The last line of the chorus was: "Makes these songs of mine worth singing, he's my son." There was more: "He's an Elvis fan, wonder which of us he gets that from?" and "He's a NASCAR driver when there's nobody around."

Any help?

Aloha,
Mark

Thanks for the suggestion, Peace. WUMB told me it's called "Nolan's Song," by Kerri Powers, from the CD "You, Me, and a Redhead." I'll have to check it out. Anybody know her?

Aloha,
Mark

Hi Mark,

I was just made aware of your inquiry and would like to thank you, first of all, for remembering Nolan's song. It means alot to me.

I wanted you to know that I'm happy to send along a copy of the lyrics and chords if you'd like. You could check out my website and contact me that way.

Thanks again for your inquiry and for supporting the music. I wish you all the best.

Peace, Kerri Powers

Arcadia sing NOLAN'S SONG on their album "Some Songs for You" (2008) – but I don't know whether it's the same song.

Kerri Powers' blog seems to have gone away.
