I take pride in the fact that all my videos are recorded completely live, without any backing tracks and without the use of Auto-Tune! PLEASE NOTE: I am NOT the same Robert Haigh who is also known as Omni Trio.
In addition to my own music (originals and covers) I also include videos featuring my two sons, each in their own separate playlists.

From A Kitchen Table - Dave Alvin cover. Performed by Robert Haigh.
LYRICS:
I hope this letter finds you
Wherever you may be
'Cause I mailed some a while back
And they were all returned to me
Ain't nothing I can tell you 'bout the hometown
Everything changes but nothing's new
Just Sunday night at the kitchen table
Finishing a beer and thinking of you
I still work the same job
And live with my mom for free
Ever since the old man passed on
It just got harder to leave
I heard a rumour you got married
Though you swore you never would
I guess you finally got your own kids now
Do you ever tell 'em 'bout the old neighbourhood
Like the time we stole your dad's car
Drove all night down Imperial Highway
You kept saying maybe we should turn around
I said it don't take much to get away
But I still work the same job
And live with my mom for free
Ever since the old man passed on
It just got harder to leave
I guess that's all I got to tell you
And things turned out how they're meant to be
I just hope this letter finds you
But until then I'll keep it with me
And I still work the same job
And live with my mom for free
Ever since the old man passed on
It just got harder to leave

Robert, this is a great song. i’ve previously heard a duet between Brian Kennedy and a female artist (can’t remember her name)but for some reason thought it was written by one of them- glad to be corrected on that. You sing it really well solo - thanks for sharing.

Hallo Robert, congratulations … this is a terrific performance … sounds marvelous my dear friend ! 👍👍 BIG like. I wish you a happy weekend ... Fons.
Thank you kindly, Fons! I wish you a happy weekend too!
I consider Dave Alvin to be one of the greatest songwriters around. His songs are full of real meaning and well-worked imagery. He is also a fine singer and a highly accomplished guitarist (both acoustic and electric). If you are not familiar with his work I urge you to seek out some of his songs on UA-cam.
Two big upvotes from Sweden, Robert! As for quite a few other commentators, that one's new to me. Good song very well rendered 🎶🙏🧙♂🧙♀
Thank you very much! Greetings from England!

You always do a great job with John Prine songs Rovert. Thank you. And as I've said a number of times, I very much like the nice style of guitar playing you employ. Have a great day Robert.
Thank you for your kind words, Mike! I think this is one of John Prine's finest songs, and although it was written from a woman's viewpoint, I have no qualms about singing it myself - just as John did. Best wishes to you!
Sounds great, Robert!! Great cover and vocal performance, my friend! Nice job!!!
Thank you Xavi!
Beautiful Neil Young cover 👍🎶
