    I saw where the writer of this song is listed as J. Dixon. Do you think the "J" stands for none other than "Jessy"? I know he's been around for a while, it could be him, but I'm not sure.

    I wish our younger listeners would refer to the methods and techniques demonstrated here!

    This sound is too valuable to fade away in the past. I believe that if more of our younger listener gravitated toward this type of sound, they would become better persons. This is a comment from a member of a yunger generation!

    Just in case you may have been wondering, I just read something by someone on another website saying that the song was indeed written by Jessy Dixon.
