Chet's soulful take on a great Paul Mcartney tune that I first heard on an old John Denver album.

I don't know if Jhonn Denver played it but it's a Mc Cartney song from his first solo album and composed when he was still in the Beatles

@esmusat It was recorded by John Denver on his "Poems Prayers And Promises" album. but the words and music are by Paul.

Chet puts a lot of soul in it, doesn't he?

[daffydoug]

Yeah. I've allready been corrected on that point. Sorry about the confusion.
