- SKB performing on Nashville Now (TNN) in 1986. This was their 2nd appearance. Song was written by Craig Bickhardt and Thom Schuyler. Ranger Doug was hosting that night.
The house I grew up in and in which my dad lived for 53 years is going to be sold today (he passed away in March). This song is so poignant for me today. This old house was bought for $23,000 in 1960 and will sell for $1.3 million today. The money is nice, but I'm feeling very melancholy today; I'd rather have my dad still here, and I'd rather have my childhood home still around. But, the memories are still around, and always will be.
I hear this song every time I drive by an old homestead. Bob, God bless you and your family. America was built on "the old homestead". I am editing a video now of a friends homestead. I smile, but I feel his pain too.
When my husband ds house sold I haven't the sadness. They owned it 56 years!
He had been brought home in that home.
So much love, and loving. Loss and sorrow.
One of the most beautiful melancholy songs and performances of all times.🥲
I've been a country/western fan my whole life, (79 yrs). This is one of the most meaningful, tuching, and beautiful songs I have ever heard. I've heard songs about, This Old House, but this is the first time,This Old House responded in harmony. John Henry
I love this song, I don't know why it never got the recognition it deserves. I heard it and saw the video on CMT a long time ago and could never get it out of my head. I am so glad to have found it again.
such a sad song. ive lived in my house since 1983, it was built in the 40s, i treasure it, ill hate to leave but i took out everything that the others have left over all these years,, i even replaced the original garage door cable to open it, must have been there since the 40s, its TIME for another family to move in and love it.
Nashville's loss was Philadelphia's gain -- Craig plays this song still around the area. Great guitarist, great songwriter, great singer, great guy.
He comes to a house concert near my home in Ohio, almost every year! Fred Knobloch had encouraged me to post these.
This song has always made me tear-up...this time was no exception. Loved hearing it performed live...thank you for sharing it with us. I still have the "No Easy Horses" vinyl album...even gave a copy of it to my day back then. It's always been one of my favorites. 🎶❤
I remember the b/w video very well....watched it over and over...as I taped 101 country videos onto one VHS tape...(many hours of watching/catching the videos I wanted...but worth it!)
The good old days......and not that long ago......
The house I grew up in is no more - so this song brings back memories. Plus a bit of nostalgia.
SKB hit #24 in Billboard, 2-6-88. God bless!
Wow.Were we ever that young??? I miss those days. Can't believe I found these old clips! Good times. Good memories.
PLEASE, PLEASE, BRING BACK THE VIDEO TO THIS , I'D LOVE FOR MY GRANDDAUGHTER TO SEE HOW I LIVED, SO TRUE TO FORM!!!!!!!!
Thanks for posting their TNN performances for us! I loved the music on No Easy Horses; own it on -- gulp -- audiotape! It's a treasure.
mrcountrysounds, they most certainly DID write this - Craig Bickhardt, and from memory it was from about Thom's parents closing up their house in the Pittsburgh area. I go back to about 1985 with this song and this is where it came from. Who remembers the pure trio black and white video version?

Kenny Chesney,Tim McGraw,and Taylor Swift couldn't write heartfelt songs like this if their collective lives depended on it.
Best song ever!
beautiful heartfelt and heartbreaking music.
best song ever..!
udaman, all right. i love this song, and can't find it on CD. glad it's here.
Dedicated to my grandpa and grandma in Ramey Pa and Baylin's Cafe
this is such a beautiful song there is nothing that i write to add to or detract from it.
almost seems that its been kept a secret,,, wonder why?
I'm curious now. You said 'were we ever that young'. Are you in that video? I met JFK at Blue bird 2 yrs ago, told him about this video I still had. He said post it! Met CB last month and was inspired to find them.
Nice sounding Tak. Is he in drop d ? Love the low end.
SOO HARD TO FIND THIS STUFF
Great tune CD long out of print on MTM records..
Songwriters singing their song.
@753684 Craig Bickhardt recorded this song in '09 on a CD called Brother to the Wind (cdbaby.com or itunes)
It is a fantastic CD! I love all the songs on it. I prefer Craigs voice tho. There is also a youtube of Craig performing this song at the Phila. Folk Festival in '08
This is 1988.
does anybody know were the music video can be found?

They Did Not Write This Song.
You, sir, are wrong. No other way to put it.
