Bill I have seen Summertime written three different ways so you have some choice. The more traditional way is probably the best and it is not hard to play. Just to mention it I am trying to choose blues for current people who are still active.   

If you want to look at all chords for  Summertime  you can find all of them here:   https://www.chordie.com/browsesong.php/ … mp;end=Sun

Tenement Funster nice find and he is  very good. I am seeing more true classical guitar players using their right leg without a lift. I have tried it some lately and it is easier for you right  hand the real problem I have had us keeping my right hand off the  Classical  Guitar. Although with more practice it might work. I am also one who never looks at my hand and never has. I as most look at the audience. All true classical guitars are exactly the same  size so if you know what you are playing looking at your hand just does not help.

She stayed true to her and still won that year. The final song was one she wrote and it was great too.

Some change the angle for comfort. With a classical guitar using the left leg to play gives a better angle for picking  and also so you left hand is more comfortable.  It also means your skin stays away from the guitar. I have seen some playing classical guitar using the right leg more like some steel string. I tired the right leg but the angle of my hand was the problem. So it is left leg for me however I have never used a lift on my left leg. Twisting your spin has never been comfortable for me.

I agree with those who say practice and playing is good for you. The dexterity it takes to play as well as the music is good for you. Who wrote what is also important and the older most get the more they seem to practice not to loose what they gained over the years.
