I'm on vacation, so I'm working like mad on ukulele videos while I can. Love this song from 1968, an awesome year in music. Hope you like my rendition:

Very nice, my friend.

Thanks, Luke! Hope all is well with you!

Repeating what I said to this on your YouTube page:
I've said it before, and I'll say it again, you ain't half bad young John! ���� Seriously mate, again, great stuff. This was the first 45rpm I ever bought for myself...brought back loads of memories. I'm building a nice collection of your stuff now for whenever I need inspiration.

Thanks, Dave! What a great first 45 to have bought! Mine was "Groovy Situation" by Gene Chandler. I just happened to like that song a lot when I got my first paycheck ever!

This is truly one of your best in 2019
How do you memorize so many song lyrics?
Like the backing track too
Now you need to do “with Pen in hand”!

Thanks, Brenda! I have a pretty good memory for lyrics... it's chords that are hard to remember. I actually tape a little "cheat sheet" near the camera, but after doing several takes (I'm definitely not a one-take guy), my short term memory kicks in and I can remember most of the chord patterns.

This is one song that definitely needs the strings in the background!

Great rendition! Brings back the memories...

[keonepax]

Thanks, rainbow21! I really appreciate it!

Beautiful rendition, John. It's funny how my reaction to this song was pretty neutral when I first heard it as a 15-year-old, and now, 50 years and so many chapters of life later, it makes me cry. Thanks for a great memory!
