Written by Lowell Levinger, aka Banana, founding member of the Youngbloods (remember the anthem, "Get Together"?). This song, played on solo banjo by Banana, appears on their "Rock Festival" album and was one of the main reasons I wanted to learn to play banjo.

Hi, Unc -- I'm in the Denver area, about 60 miles north of the fires near Colorado Springs, but we sure got the smoke! 

Thanks for the nice comments, everyone!

SJ -- Ahh, Sunlight... Great song!

Wondeful, Bear. 

Hope you are a good long ways from the Colorado forest fires.

Thanks, guys... SJ, see that little black thing hanging off the table that looks like a pen or something, pointed at the banjo? That's my Dollar Tree mic, and it's the reason the recording sounds better than if I was just using the camera's mic. I had to sync up the Audacity recording to the video, and actually didn't get it perfect. But then again, long live imperfection!

 

Glad you're having fun with yours!
