Hi,here Spain!I've listened your rendition of this song at least 15 times.I love it!!!I'd like to play it,too.I'llkeep watching you.

[somersetdc]

Very nice job. A real joyful tune. Thanks!

[bostonblakie]

Nice going on a great tune. I do recall that old childhood rhyme. Thanks for reminding me.

[timboytx]

Thank you very much, bostonblakie. Looks like your channel has some great favorites. I'm going to check them out.

Dear Tim - I always like that you add such interesting & detailed histories. Very few do. This one is wonderful. I've seen Betty Hutton's rendition of this (& not on YouTube). I've always enjoyed her performances. As always, you did a great job. Try not to worry about the PC of it; it's part of the history of the song. If I know the song, I find myself singing along. If not, after I've watched 20 or so times, then I harmonize when I sing along! Keep 'em coming! Love you! - Laura

[harmonyespanada]

i dig dem ukulele tunes!

The Betty Hutton record is on a LP, something like "Golden Age of Comedy" from the 1970s-- at least you left out the Woo-woo-woo part! But worrying too much about whether an old song is P.C. leads us directly to Stan Freberg's "Elderly Man River."

Tim..

Fantastic Sound..Never heard of this song..but I have heard of the great Hoagy Carmichael!!

Awesome video!!!

[timboytx]

Thanks, Daniel! Check out the clip on YouTube of the great Betty Hutton singing this song. That's how I first discovered the song years ago. That's the definitive performance! I just discovered your channel and I'm loving your music.

[timboytx]

Hey, BJ! Thanks very much. Yes, all my work is done and I'm completely idle these days. Tee hee. Not really.

[NojEnserfud]

Very nice, thanks.

[timboytx]

Thank you, NojEnserfud. I've been enjoying your songs.

[charlester]

Great playing Tim. I especially like how you explain the history of the song and writers.

[timboytx]

Thanks, Charles. Knowing and sharing the song's history is important to me. Adds so much to my enjoyment.

[markf3x]

Tim,

Great job.

SOOOOO smooth and relaxed strumming..

[timboytx]

Hi, Mark. Thanks! This is a song I really love, and one I've been playing on the uke for over a year. Hope to see you and the uke group soon.

[pablo9000]

Very nice Tim...you're really cruising now, you make it look effortless (and fun!)...another great song choice as well...tyvm and keep 'em coming!

[timboytx]

I appreciate that, Pablo. I love this song, but wish it didn't use that outdated idea of "Indians". But I recognize that it's just a relic of its time. And a song's history can add an interesting dimension to it when we hear it performed.

[LStrachey]

nice work and welcome back

[timboytx]

Thanks very much! Wish I could do this more often but it's hard to find a big chunk of free time, and I prefer to record during daylight hours when the light is better.

[mettanc]
