@funchords Scott wrote this song when he was leaving home to attend college in Florida. He has stated in interviews that he was thinking of his grandma when he wrote it..pulling out of the driveway leaving Indiana and his family behind to go to college.
This is the song that came on in my car at 3am when I left the hospital after my father passed away. 19 years later I still come here every 9/13 to listen to it to keep him in my thoughts.

I don't know if oktavist is a "fancy" title or not, but the term itself may be specific to the ligurgical music of Eastern Orthodox churches. However the oktavists have such deep voices that they can sing an octave below basses (as is my understanding) I guess my question was not so much did he sing that form of music, but whether his voice was so deep, and notes so low, that it was in a comparable range as the oktavist singers.
This is so beautiful.
The original recording of this was the last track on Sean Altman's last album with the group (Lucky Seven). I always thought it was appropriate.
I asked him once about how he classifies his vocal range and he said he doesn't give it any fancy title. Just bass.

How I miss Barry. Is Barry's range deep enough he could be considered and oktavist?

I think this song is extremely beautiful!
