I love this song. How can a person not smile when music like this is in their head?

This tune bears an uncanny resemblace to "Colored Aristocracy". BOth have great chord changes. I've seen Frank Wakefiled several times abck in the 60s and eawrly 70s. He's picking as well as ever.

I sure wish Tocny's solo were better mic'd.

Heard Frank play with Bromberg about 30 years ago in Scotia New York . An amazing small group.

God Bless Frank. Long may he play.
