The first time Steve and my father met, Steve played "Stairway to Gilligan's Island" for him. My father was a man who loved goofy songs like "Chicken Train" and "Dead Skunk in the Middle of the Road" and "King Tut". So, of course, "Stairway to Gilligan's Island" was gonna send my father over the moon.
We never recorded Steve playing/singing the song, but whenever I hear "Stairway to Heaven" I think of the two of them laughing like loons to this version.
Daddy, I hope Stevie is playing all your favorite tunes for you right now. I love you both. And thank you, Daddy, for carrying me through the first year without Steve.
