Dear Beachcomber,

I think the song you're remembering about "Dad" was Chet's "I Still Can't Say Goodbye", a truly moving elegy that he always dedicated to his own father's memory. We saw him play it in concert about seven years ago and it brought an unbidden tear to the eye then...it does even moreso right now.

Thank you, Chet, for all you gave us while you were here and for the legacy you leave behind.
