Happy New Year, Mark, and thank you for the music. This was one of the first tunes I figured out a way to play solo, as the melody sits relatively conveniently on the chords. And it's a great melody to boot.

For some reason this song has always made me feel really nostalgic. The video really captures that too. I'd loved to have lived in that era. Thanks for sharing your rendition with us.
