healthy life
This song from Power Acoustic Pioneers, Friday’s Child, attained a great deal of popularity on Armed Forces Radio a few years ago, and is dedicated to all of our brave troops in all of our armed forces, serving all over the world.
The song pays homage to front man Tom Walker’s uncle, a US Marine war hero who was wounded on Iwo Jima during WWII. A fellow marine was injured and a Navy medic was killed while they were saving his life.
After the war, Tom’s uncle married the love of his life, and they raised seven children. He earned tremendous respect by everyone who knew him - he was a true pillar of his community.
After living a long, healthy life for years following, Tom’s uncle was stricken with throat cancer. This lion of a man, whom everyone believed was invincible, was taken from this earth in a matter of months.
Friday’s Child has shared stages with Shane McGowan, The Commitments, and Black 47. If you love The Beatles, Dave Matthews, and Billy Joel, you’ll love this band!
