Wonderful tune. I can easily see the kids vividly in my mind. Also, this feels like a waltz. My feet immediately wants to move to your rhythm.

Very many thanks, Arvin! (I don't doubt that you would do a wonderful waltz!)

That’s a beaut old song Val. Made me smile. Really like that painting..haven’t seen it before..and more appropriate than using “ the scream “. :)

[@limousinlil]

My thoughts exactly, John! It was actually quite comforting to find that not all his paintings were as tortured as "The Scream!"
