Thanks Snuffy. The cool thing is that you can do a song like this just strumming the right chords and singing along and it sounds fine. But you can also fancy it up some with right hand patterns and fill notes to make it more interesting. Plenty of folks are perfectly happy with the strum and sing approach but I'm always looking to add a bit more.

Thanks Derek. I used to change the words on that one verse about a needle and a spoon since I've lost friends to that stuff. Now I look at it like brutal honesty. But I still cringe some at that line.

Thanks Richard, I appreciate your kind words.

Thanks AGP. It usually takes me a while to figure out how to explain what I'm doing without confusing folks.
