A message from Harold who wrote the song... I was flying home to LA after performing in Kansas City, when a little while after take off the flight attendant asked Ryan & Ashley to please come up front. Ryan got down on one knee and proposed & everyone started cheering. So when the flight attended came by I stopped her and told her that I'm a professional musician & I specialize in improv & custom songs & that I had my guitar w/ me--& that if she thought it was appropriate I could create a song for the newly betrothed couple & sing it to them. So she conspired to have the couple's friends surreptitiously pass up some info to me on scrap paper & napkins. In about 15 minutes or so I pressed the call button & told her I was ready & she said why don't you come up front & sing it over the microphone. Fortunately Ben was sitting in front with his new iPhone, captured the whole thing & put it on YouTube. I still have the scraps of paper & a nice note from Ryan & Ashley and some nice memories of flight 3267 last Sept. 19th on my favorite airline--Southwest. Thanks for letting us bring out guitars on!
