Yep Strummerboy Bill and Doug_Smith ...................... it was done a year ago as I commented above I think if we all just stop commenting on this thread, it will eventually fade away into some abyss, beyond our reach (or not) hopefully

(Blushing). Ha ha! Yeah, this song was tricky for me, having no real strong moments in it. When I can't make up for that in song, I do it with my face! Ha ha ha!

Thanks you guys!

I DID IT! I got the song recorded AND uploaded in MAY!

This shouldn't seem like such a daunting task, but well, it is for me sometimes. LOL! Anyhow, I kept screwing up the words or chords in the SAME PLACE every stinking time. Since I don't like to edit a whole lot, I just kept recording over and over again. Then the kids were laughing at me, which didn't help the situation at all. I still messed up on this final recording but it is what it is. I was starting to get a little too goofy.
