I remember my grade school music teacher having us sing that song, but I don't recall her grabbing her guitar and slamming like those last two minutes! :

I am so looking forward to the day of JJJ's announcement that he now owns a guitar made on all 7 Continents.
Is there such a thing as Penguin Guitars from Antarctica ?

Beamer....
I am just an old country bumpkin so that when I saw your title, I was just like Roger - and immediately was ready to tell you The Band ( or Rick Danko) . Then I gave it a listen and realized it was nothing like that song, but it did stimulate my interest so I started trolling the net til I found it.
I just kept searching til I was on about page 40 of you tube and voila!, I found it - it wasn't easy , but then it had become a quest !
Glad I could help out.

BEAUTIFUL PLAYING - AND THAT WAS A HEARTMOVING RENDITION AS THE NOSTALGIC STILL PHOTOS APPEARED THROUGHOUT THE VIDEO. I IMMENSELY ENJOYED THIS ! STIRRING EMOTIONS WITHOUT WORDS, WHEN YOU HAVE DONE THAT, YOU'VE DONE SOMETHING SPECIAL !
I was just having a conversation with my psychology class the other day about how when they walk down the street and see older people, they should remember that we were all young once. ( i.e. Graham's Cloak of Invisibility song)
I also loved seeing all your guitars - sweet collection. Do you still have your very first guitar ?
Anyway - this was a great way for me to begin Sunday morning at 5:30 am
NFL today - Go Steelers and Packers, although the left side of my brain is telling me the opposite is reality!
Thanks again so much for your musical reflection, it was awesome!

I think I got a great deal today
I went into a local guitar shop to buy some guitar pics
As I was in there a guy was selling his guitar on consignment
He wanted $600
I got it for $500 including the case
I played it - checked it over, had the guitar shop guy check it - flawless!
It's a Gibson - 2007 Les Paul Studio made in USA
Pretty good day!
I will post pics as soon as I get to my computer

Roger
That is a super photo - was this your band or just guys getting together to jam on guitars ?
too bad you all couldn't get together to stage a re-take - a now and then re-mix!
And this brings me to the point I make all the time to my students - digital media pictures today - a generation from now - everyone is going to be sorry that they didn't print out hard copies of their photos - instead they get deleted from phones and other forms - because the storage card is full !
We are lucky to have access to these treasures.
Thanks for sharing - you guys were a HANDSOME BUNCH OF DUDES !
And somehow the song Joe's Garage by Frank Zappa popped in my head -
nice 12er !

Very nice..... superb social commentary
I 've must've had those thoughts a million times.. always questioning that if somehow I won the mega lottery and had millions - what would I do - would I just become one of them or would I really make a difference in some other people's lives. The tragedy is that there are so many impoverished persons, it is an impossible task ( including the ones that don't really want to help themselves). The economic division in societies around the globe is growing at an alarming rate - someday the price will have to be paid.
I anticipate a cool rendition of this when your voice is healthy !

just came a cross this info...The name Opie has a historical reference rooted in music. Opie Cates was a prominent band leader in the 1930s and 1940s. Andy Griffith and the show’s producer, Sheldon Leonard, were big fans of Cates’ music so they decided to honor him.
