Great version, Pa. Never heard the original song, except for the cartoon you referenced. Both his names begin with L, right?

"Little Arrows" - Leapy Lee
Well that's got to be the fastest "working out the chords to upload" I've ever done!
A bit of fun with a 1968 hit parade and radio favourite... "Little Arrows" by Leapy Lee featuring the latest love of my life, Moose the lurcher (just for you Lynda)

This song what on the charts lists Lynda provided in a version by Jimi Hendrix, but the original is of course by Bob Dylan. This song was recorded by U2 for the Rattle and Hum album. This is my take on All along the watchtower.
A U2 version can be found here:

Ey brethren! Here's my take on Wonderful World Beautiful People by Jimmy Cliff straight off the charts from 1969. It has a bit of plate reverb for that old school reggae feel.
Thanks for the great idea this season, Bev. Late 60s rules.

SOTU 147 - Hurdy Gurdy Man
Don't know what the hell it is but here is #20 from the top 40 chart the week I was born - June 8, 1968.
Of course the kids were on hand to help.

Oh Mike, Mike, Mike....I remember that song! It was so fun!
This is a powerful time of music for me; I changed a lot in those years. To show you, here are pics of me in 1968 (hs grad), 1969 uni dorm) and 1970.

You would have had to have lived in the 60's to get the reference...
You see Sandy Shaw always used to sing barefoot

Yay! the music of my high school years- so many memories. About to head off into the land of no wifi. I hope to resurface in a few days. Have tons of fun guys. I hope to catch up and post something later in the week when I have access to the internetz once again. Aloha!

I think this uke standard might be one of the most beautiful songs ever written. Sorry I had to sing to accompany the uke playing!
Thanks for the killer season idea. It let me finally get around to putting serious time into upping my game with more challenging songs.

I had the privilege of working with Sandie Shaw on her 1986 tour. She was wearing shoes by then
It was years later though before I realised that that was her stage name - Sandy Shore, geddit?

OK... I love this theme. Some of my favorite music is from the late '60s, when I was a lad. Here's "Sunshine of Your Love" (1967), the first of several I plan for the week.
I overdubbed a bass line and second vocal on top of the original uke + vocal take.
I used a special camera angle in honor of our host:
