    One of my all-time favorite songs, period. I've taught this to kids at school and they love to sing it. I've played a finger-picked version, but love what you're doing here - any chance you could let me know what chords you're playing?

    Very nice Dan. I'm not familiar with it like Ted is... but enjoyed it all the same
    Which guitar did you use for this, and sounds capo'd to me which sounds great!

    Cheers,

    As an accomplished and award winning home brewer I've always loved the song just not for the music but for the lyrics also.

    You did justice to the song. Great playing and singing!

    Nice job, Dan. Wish it was a little louder, but a very nuanced and cool treatment nonetheless. (I mean the recording volume.)
