Thank you, Andries, great to hear from you! Glad it sparked some good memories. Music is great that way :)
Thank you for the kind comments, John. This is one I have played on and off over the years though this is the first time that I remember recording it.
Thank you, Doug. I can imagine the Slingers doing this one, right in your wheelhouse!
Thank you, Brian :) Another buddy of mine said the same thing about Alex Chilton, so I will definitely check out his other music.
Thank you, Kale. This is one I like to play on the back deck on a baritone uke but too cold and snowy out there now!
