Nice job on this one!

I haven't thought of, let alone heard, this song in decades... always liked it but never played it, either solo or in various groups I've worked with...

Good to hear it again! Thanks for posting...

This song is for all innocent and simple people of our world. May their joy and appreciation for life spread like wildfire, and promote happiness and hope in all peoples.

Nice. I've been playing this song for 45 years, great fun to play!

Wish I could sit in with you. My chords are slightly different in spots, but I bet they would sound just fine played along with yours.
