Hate to Keep You Waiting

This song was the first song that The Swinging Chads recorded in August 2014. Randall McGowan plays piano, bass guitar and sings both parts. A great guitar accompaniment from Norman Collins makes this song a great representation of what the music of The Swinging Chads is about.

I wrote it as a testament to the healing of broken relationships.

Doing this enabled me to move ahead, looking back with grace on circumstances that are irreversible in my life.
A Beatles' song called "In My Life" was the inspiration to tell this story from my 3rd act in the music business.
On a spiritual phone line with call-waiting, I placed a call to missing friends, living and not so alive, to recall their tonality in my life. My current stay of well-being gave me the path to closure on these events and a clear memory of all the interaction that these missing souls had in my life. "I am so lucky that I'm still here to play."
