Great job!

Thanks for the historical update Brian. Songs that use power chords sound great on 3-stringers and this is one of them.

Actually it came out at the end of 69-70’ This song goes so good with cbg’s because it was originally recorded in open G but with a capo on the second fret, so really it fits perfectly

Uncle John. Your date sounds about right, I remember it from Elementary School, which dates me!

Ambrose nailed the author/performer. It was a one hit wonder!

Poorness notes the the cool chord progression which I can groove on indefinitely! RTJC

Thanks guys!!!

I'm sure Norman Greenbaum's spirit would be delighted hearing this!

I saw a couple new faces in there. They might not be "new" but they're new to me. Fun track Doug. Such a cool progression.

I like and remember that song - circa 72?   Nice job.  I remember a good old friend co-worker belting out this song.  Now I need to remember or look up who did it originally.
