(on Gentle Wind)
Grant Rogers has a song about his Grandpa telling tall tales which ends in this verse.
Now it comes my Grandpa's time
To bid farewell to all
An Empty chair is standing there
His picture on the wall
I know the man who tends the gates
Would proudly let him by
So he can tell his stories to
The Big man in the sky
(On Folk Legacy)
Also I wrote a song about my Grandfather in 1989 called the "Ballad of Norman Studer" on a tape called Folk Soup.
