Great photos accompanying great song. I love those showing nature, kids, illustrating the beauty & innocence the song evokes. Fave photo is of the puppy next to the bike tire. BUT: Duane's photos appear more than any band member, yet he died before the song came out. So it doesn't make sense to feature him playing, great as he was. Les Dudek played second guitar & the song was inspired by Dicky's daughter, Jessica. Video would have been much better for "Blue Sky," which Duane DID play on.
As has been said before, excellent convertible music! Top down, sun shining, blue skies, and a stretch of divided 4-lane for as far as you can see (think Kansas -- not the band, the state).
i clicked on this video because i thought i saw a monkey in a little girls clothing behind bars.....disappointed to find out thats not what it was.....great song though, i wanna learn how to play it on the piano
BDDC129, you're right about driving while listening to this in your car. Today, I was driving and while listening to my XM Radio, this song came out and while driving on a two lane highway by the beach......it can't get any better!
@geraldbarcode I just recently found out about the Reinhardt tribute on "Nights with Alice Cooper." Turns out Django was Cooper's dad's favorite guitar player. He is my dad's favorite player as well. Seems no matter how long you've listened to music, you always come across something new. Cheers!!
1 person can't take a hint that this is one of the best songs by the Bros.

per Wiki, Betts wrote this in tribute to Django Reinhardt as a piece playable with only 2 fingers on the left hand, so its a winner all round

the truly wonderful accomplishment of this truly amazing musical
composition and performance is that it was brought forth after
losing berry after losing duane
to be able to find the soul strength to go on after two such devastating
body blows to their existence is the most impressive example of the true greatness of the allman brothers band
with jessica dicky's place enshrined among the true greats was forever assured
he HAS to be included right there w/ duane
peace
