  • Thanks Danny! It really requires focus to pull it off; some serious movement up and down the neck. After A.D.’s comment, I took another look at the song and discovered that a transpose from F to G was still in my vocal range, but much, much easier to play! I’m ready for the Puff loving Slingers that will choose it again.

  • I love this song. Great job covering it.

  • That is interesting Kale! This is what I found:

    Puff the Magic Dragon is a 30-minute animated television special based on the song of the same name made notable by Peter, Paul and Mary. First aired October 30, 1978 on CBS, and produced by Fred Wolf Films, it features Burgess Meredith as the voice the title character.

    Maybe that was it.

  • Glad you’re smiling Uncle John!

  • I remember this song being the theme for a TV show when I was a kid. I can't even remember what the show was called but I remember the song.

  • :D

  • Thanks much AGP! Lots of fun old songs out there that take us back.

  • A real "Blast From the Past" there Slingers, "Well Done"  :-)

  • You are welcome Brian! Glad to hear you liked it. It’s a classic, for sure.

  • Nothing gets by you A.D.! It is definitely not on repeat. A lot of movement up and down the neck through the entire song. It requires my total concentration or things go south quickly. I’m rarely able to nail it, and we have some Slingers who love to choose it! Thanks for noticing!
