And here's me thinkin ya were gonna do a Bob Dylan number, uncle John LOL. As ah have said before, Unk, Bob Dylan is ma cousin twice removed. They tried ta remove me a third time, but ah was too fast for them (ah'm learnin, YEP) LOL.

Good number all the same , Unk,even if not a "Bobness" number, and even without the curly hair sunglasses,and distinctive "WHINE" of the revered one LOL

Your new songs have a fine way of sounding like old song. Well done, but maybe do try it in your new tuning.

Gees, thanks Slim and Henry. I kind of knocked that song out in half an hour to go with the guitar.
