	Smooth as southern comfort on a summer's day...musically reminiscent of andy and opie headin' on down to their favorite fishin' hole...a true original American country favorite...this laid-back tune is one of the band's favorite's...all about those special times growin' up spent sharin' the music with family and friends on the front porch.

	Story Behind the Song "Dad and Uncle Burt were the best two guitar pickers I ever knew. Not technically, maybe. But their love of music and song could bring happiness and laughter into any situation. Their musical collaborations were pure joy to a young kid growing up. I learned everything about guitars and singing and music at their knee. And boy, could they ever make their instruments "sing." Summer evenings, there was no better place to be than our front porch. Sunday afternoons it seemed that half the neighborhood would show up. A real gathering place. And it was the music that did all that. The joy and the fun. Everyone would get into the act with every kind of make-shift instrument, banjos, harmonicas, bottles, tub basses, anything. I can't imagine ever being happier than that. I'll always remember Dad that way." Lyrics FRONT PORCH SWING Words & music copyright 2002-2003 RWGathman for The Front Porch Country Band. All rights reserved worldwide. When I was just a little bitty boy Sittin' on the front porch swing Folks would stop and just gather 'round Got to be a front porch thing Daddy there playin' on his old guitar Boy, the old man could sing Forever I'll remember all the music we made Sittin' on the front porch swing Instrumental break Front porch memories still hold strong Banjo and the mandolin Washboard scratchin' out our favorite song Tub bass kickin' in Daddy still strummin' on his old guitar Boy the old man could sing Forever I'll remember all the fun we shared Sittin' on the front porch swing Now whenever we're together Sittin' and a swingin' We're pickin' and a grinnin' and Sittin' on the front porch swing
