[F] [G]
Tis the [E] season to get married, a time for white gowns, veils, fancy cakes, rice, flowers,
[C#] garters, tuxedos, bridesmaids, ushers.
Okay, you [N] get the idea.
But it's also a time for that all-important first dance.
Well, after the bride dances with the groom, she sometimes dances with her father to the
song Daddy's Little Girl.
But the groom and his mom are usually left with whatever the band feels like [E] playing.

[C#m] [F#]
[B] [C#] Mickey, good morning.
And [C#m] it's called the Song for My [D#] Son, and it's a song for not only my son, but all the other
mothers of [N] sons everywhere that want to celebrate their son's wedding day.
Now, what prompted you, Mickey, to write this?
Was it because you perform at weddings along with your band?
And what would you generally play when the groom was dancing with his mom?
Well, actually, there was never anything appropriate until then.
Jeremiah was a bullfighter.
I mean, really, there was nothing.
I mean, Daddy's Little Girl's been around for 50 years, and this is the first time ever
there's been a song written and recorded.
Every single word says exactly what a mother would wish her son on his wedding day.
So, you know, I kind of took a mom to know what other moms feel, I guess, and I just
kind of wrote those words down, and what I feel for my sons in my heart, which they're
the love of my life, of course.
So I just put all that love down, and what I would wish them on their wedding day.
And now mothers across the whole country, it's just unbelievable what's going on.
It's been incredible.
First of all, how did you get the word out that [G#m] you'd written a song?
I mean, you basically heckled newspaper reporters and people like us to [C#] death, right?
You're right.
You're right.
My phone bills are like $700 [A#] every month for the past year.
I mean, just incredible.
Just calling and just not being disappointed.
Just call back and call back.
Don't take it [N] personally.
But you know what kept me going is the letters from the mothers, because when newspapers
did do the story and people did talk about it, the mothers found out.
And that's the most incredible thing.
And their letters are what just keep
that was my encouragement, not to be discouraged
and just to keep going and keep going until mothers everywhere know that they finally
have a song for their sons.
How many copies have you sold?
Lots and lots.
I've really [C#m] lost count of how many.
Like 30,000 or something?
Is that right?
Actually, yeah.
Probably a lot more than that now, because we have the CD and sheet music too, as [G#m] well
as the tape.
You're just a cottage industry, Mickey.
Yes, we [N] are.
Yeah, it's a cottage industry.
It's very homemade soup and it's very personal.
And I talk to the moms on the phone myself and they, oh, my wedding's this weekend.
What am I going to do?
Don't worry.
Somehow we'll do it.
If I have to walk it to Kansas, I'll get it to you.
And that's seriously how I feel.
I mean, these people are wonderful and they're like my friends everywhere now.
You know, they're just beautiful and I love them.
Now, I know you and your band live in the Springfield, Northampton, Mass.
area.
[E] And so in [N] that case, people want to get in touch with you.
So now, why don't you sing us your song?
Oh, thank you very much. Thanks, Mickey.
