From the recording Dreaming Again
This is a tribute song for my old friend Jim Ross, fellow Uncle Calvin's Coffeehouse volunteer
Lyrics
Almost Every Friday - Bill Nash - DADGAD, capos 3, 6
I never met a man could smile so easy
Or get involved in every worthy cause
I never met a purer heart
A stronger back, it was a work of art
He was my almost every Friday counterpart
I never met another man of such conviction
I always knew exactly where he stood
He was obviously a military man
A master sergeant, always with a plan
Guitarists, singers all knew he was a music fan
Chorus
Now there's a hole here where he used to sit
And I can't find a way to fill it
My heart says never quit feeling he's still here
But the hole is real, it’s deep without him
Though I know they let him in
He was my almost every Friday best friend
=
I never met a gentler man, kind to a fault
He'd take me down the road and show me
What I already know
Wisdom seemed to flow through him
Always a bright light, never dim
He was someone I could always believe in
CH2
There is a hole here, where he used to sit
But maybe I don't need to find a way to fill it
‘Cause my heart will never quit feeling he's still here
Yes the hole is real, it's deep without him
Though I’m sure they let him in
He's still my almost every Friday best friend
Almost every Friday we'd set this room up
Then he'd sit on my left with tea in his coffee cup
Friends came to him for a warm hug
If you said something stupid, well, he'd just shrug
Even if he didn't agree, you still felt the love
