(Maybe I'll write a song about it!)

Black Betty's Christmas... Ok I've had this thing for the Black Betty song, Black Betty has meant various things over the years....so I used my strengths and and produced what you're fixing to see.. I hope the video doesn't over shadow the song.. Black Betty is a cat being brought home. I can't play a lick, maybe a Christmas wish will come through.. Enjoy... PS: What Movie is his from? 8^)

'Winter Thoughts" was, in fact, performed on a prima balalaika. "Kling glöckchen" was performed on my 3 string "sympatico" build. Merry Christmas and Blessings to all!
