    Have at it, Shane.   I think it might be a good one for you.  Find the right key to sing it in and away you go.

    Thanks, Nancy.  That looks like our old gray Katie Cat, gone quite a while now.

    Thanks, James O.   Pick, I had my pasta.  You are back in good graces.   Thanks Danny and I agree - as Kris showed us, a 'pretty voice' is not always needed to be a good singer.

    Thanks, Matt.  The claw hammer practice is sounding better - I have no idea if I am doing it right.  

    Thanks, Papa D.  I appreciate all the encouraging words.

    another great time from you unc. Really a nice rendition. You capture the underlying sadness in this one perfectly. I really enjoyed this.
