Playing Catch is a warm and tender acoustic ballad that captures the quiet beauty of a father-son bond. Released just in time for the start of baseball season, the song serves as a gentle reminder of the memories we create through simple moments—like tossing a ball back and forth on a lazy afternoon.
Written and performed by Don Sechelski, the track is stripped down and sincere. The acoustic guitar work is clean and comforting, backed by Joe Caporosa on lead acoustic guitar and Larry Salzman on percussion. Together, the trio builds a soft, nostalgic atmosphere that supports the storytelling at the heart of the song. Lyrically, Playing Catch is both specific and universal. It’s about fathers, sons, and the kind of unspoken love that lives in shared traditions. The vocals are honest and down-to-earth, letting the story unfold naturally, without needing to push too hard. It feels like a letter—personal yet relatable, simple yet deeply moving. For anyone who grew up playing baseball or spending time with a parent in small, meaningful ways, Playing Catch will likely strike a chord. It’s a thoughtful piece that honors the emotional weight of everyday memories.
