Finally, after two years I've completed my song about a 1936 Francis Barnett Blackhawk I had the pleasure to ride. I do hope you'll give it a listen right through to the end. Never have a I recorded a song with such purpose. This song is dedicated to Everett, the owner of that Franny B. I'm hoping this song will help keep his spirits high as he bravely battles for his life due to cancer. If you haven't watched my previous videos, please give this a bash and as usual, comment, subscribe and like it on YouTube. It's only a dream but for Everett, if this went viral it would be so cool in helping him with his struggle. Listen, tell your friends, share it on FB, whatever... anything to get the message out that we all support a fellow rider and friend!! http://youtu.be/Y3jVNMjF5Ko
Live to love, love to live.

Very catchy tune, and a nice video to go along with it! Yep, another winner here, Keith. (...oh, and here's to Everett!)

You had me disappointed that I couldn't hear the sound of the F-B's motor in your tribute, but you came through a little in the end. I'm a sucker for the sounds of old motors.

Keith, I really enjoyed that video and catchy tune. I especially enjoyed the sound of that ride. Always loved the sound of a 4 stroke single thumping its way down the street. My chum had a 441 Victor BSA that sounded the same, albeit a little louder. Great song and great work. Keep it up!

Good call Greg... that was the sound of a BSA. I ripped it from a YouTube video. I didn't really have any decent audio of the Franny B so I used it instead.

Well Keith, I suppose as long as that BSA isn't owned by one of the battery of Disney lawyers out there, then ya should be okay THIS time anyway!!!!
