For Andy McKay (Rest in Peace)

 

On a sweet June evening,

I sat upon the ground

where woes; were so fleeting,

quashed by joyous sound,

asking who that man was

whose notes could reach the sky

then came friendly answer,

why, that’s old Barr McKay.

 

Sliding psalms on six string

whilst many did join in,

to form a smile singing;

where the base, was him,

the wisdom of a Wilbury,

could really make you fly,

when your heart was opened

by Mr. Barr McKay.

 

Thus, let’s all drink a pledge

and keep his song alive,

in such dark times; he did fledge,

both kin and friend; alike,

so, listen on the wind,

deep voice, from up high,

for it will be the one we miss;

thank you, sir; Barr McKay.
