I wrote this simple song in 2012 for my beginning guitar students so they could practice its simple chord changes. I added doodles many years later. Someday, I might record it.
Thanks for reading and responding. You make it fun.
Mark
If a bird steals your food, just let it go. If you get the wrong answer on Family Feud, just let it go.
Mark, you come up with the darnedest examples for letting go! Great little ditty. Do record it with an accompanying video featuring an animated version of your doodles, which are hilarious.
