You pick some really good songs Doug. I always liked this one. Perfect for the slingers.

Thanks Uncle John! Time is kinder to some and not so much to others. The ukulele group I’m a part of does the song regularly. I remember hearing on the radio. It’s a fun song to play and sing, I lowered the key when I worked up the arrangement for the 3-string guitar. Just using 1-finger chords means we can pretty much play in any key with no problem. I love the flexibility!

I always liked this song.  And Melanie was a cutie.   I wonder how she looks now...   Good job.  I enjoyed it.
