You’re welcome BrianQ! It is more fun when we have more cigar box guitarslingers! Can’t wait until we can meet together in person again. We have met more times via Zoom than in person! Crazy times.

You pick some really good songs Doug. I always liked this one. Perfect for the slingers.

Thanks Uncle John! Time is kinder to some and not so much to others. The ukulele group I’m a part of does the song regularly. I remember hearing on the radio. It’s a fun song to play and sing, I lowered the key when I worked up the arrangement for the 3-string guitar. Just using 1-finger chords means we can pretty much play in any key with no problem. I love the flexibility!

I always liked this song. And Melanie was a cutie. I wonder how she looks now... Good job. I enjoyed it.
