Thanks Poorness! I am regularly reminded of how many fun songs there are out there that are just waiting to be played again.

Great tune Doug. I forgot about this one.

I couldn’t have said it better Uncle John! When I’m playing the song on my guitar, I have so much more control of everything in the song.

Ha, I can get up in front of folk and play and sing. Nervous maybe, but can do it.

But doing karaoke would terrify me.

Thanks Bob! Karaoke is something I have not tried, glad you made it through! Marilyn, pictured in teal blue above, who is in her 80s, requested adding this song to our songbook. I remember hearing it growing up. It’s fun to play and sing.

Great job! I like this song also. My first time to muster enough courage to sing Karaoke I requested Sea Of Heartbreak and they played Oh Lonesome Me by mistake. I plodded through it somehow.
