Well done UJ!

You got it already!   And I just opened yours.  Thanks.  I am touched.

Thanks, Denbo.  I am sending you an imaginary Christmas card.  Please imagine that you got it and loved it.

Thanks, Richard.   Interesting and kind of maddening on the record producer taking credit on the song for cash.   Yeah, I can't do that on a whole lot of songs, but playing in this style and singing with it is kind of like a duet.

Nice duet with Swampy Uncle! I read the song is credited to recording producer  Chester Melrose allowing him to collect royalties on it without having writing it. The melody is identical to Good Morning, School Girl recorded in 1937. I am familiar with Jefferson Airplane’s take on this song, but I can’t remember it for some reason, ask Alice!

Thanks, Clarky.  I remember those days.  

Thanks, Dave.

Nice Uncle John, I'm pretty sure Chauffeur Blues is something I get when I have to drive the wife and kids everywhere.

Listened again Uncle. Love your voice witch.

Thanks, Buggy.  I would let that dog chauffer me, but not in that car, at least until we have a warm up. 

Thanks Andres.  Cool license plate map.

BQ, I like Minnie and Rosetta too.  I was trying to tame the witch down with lower amp settings.

Thanks, Dave.  

Thanks, Buggy.  Yep, I think my swampy likes AEA the best. 

Thanks, Jim.  I agree on the witch's tone.  

Thanks, AGP.  I am currently in fat form.
