When Tomorrow Comes

When Tomorrow Comes. When I wrote this song, I was making a serious effort to include as many of the traditional Bluegrass influences that I had absorbed as a listener since the early sixties. If you're an affificanado of the genre, I think you'll hear some echoes of Flatt and Scruggs, Red Smiley, Ralph Stanley,Jimmy Martin, The Lonesome Pine Fiddlers and others in here. It's what I call 'hammer-and-tongs' Bluegrass,where the actual lyrical content is sad, but the song drives along at a pace. I got the title idea from the Garth Brooks song, If Tomorrow Never Comes. [ Just turned his title up-side-down! ] Goes to show that you never know where inspiration may come from.
