I am very sorry to learn that Robert Parker died. I love Robert's song, "Barefootin." I wrote words for today's times to use with the melody calling it, "Six Footin." I don't want to do copyright infringement. Just wanted to help people smile during this Corona Virus Pandemic. Please ask the family to email me and give me permission to put my words to his music and place it in a blog post and Facebook with a link to Robert singing Barefootin. I understand that his nephew let the world know...
