    Dick Burnett has one hell of a life story. Lived through WW1, WW2 & Vietnam. I think that losing his eyesight to a mugger and turning to music saved his life. With his vision He would have been in his early 30s when WW1 started and likely would have been drafted. Survival rate was not very high for that war. He died in 1977 at 93. That’s wild. This song was published in 1913 but without him diving deeper into his career, this song would have been forgotten about. Makes me think of how many unheard of classics we’re missing out on.

    I must say that your tutorial for tab recognition is the must superior quality video I have ever seen on you tube . The way you allow a bar to travel across the staza bar as you play each note formation is the most awesome presentation for beginners and even those like myself wanting to get a better understand of how to read Tab . Thanks for your attention of quality . Thinking of getting lessons from a youtube teacher . You are top of my consideration.
