I heard it on the oldies radio station a couple of weeks ago and remembered what a great tune it was. Andy Rogers must have forgot about this one. You can tell I'm probably over 40 too. Just a little. I made a trip to the local library, checked out Ricky Nelson's Greatest hits and worked this out on Saturday morning. Hope I got it right. Thanks for all the great music. I could use some Dave Clark Five. Gary, Redondo Beach, Ca.
