I was staring straight down at the runway, and all I could think of was I was setting myself

up to him graciously dismantled this perfectly good little airplane, and then off in the distance,

I heard a voice, and I think it was that of my flight, instructor saying, you can always go around.

And that's the go-around song, and today we'll talk with a man behind the song, singing pilot Ken Dravis.
