Everyone's smiling. Everyone 's happy. I want this tune and video to last so that everyone is happier for longer.

What a classic song, great guitar and percussion playing, and the legendary LW BAND, The Music Chord, nanaimo, b.c. Canada

Neil was one of the guitarists that motivated me to learn to play guitar.
-
The percussionist is tapping out a complex rhythm with his fingertips, and he keeps it going without a break or a flaw.
-
These artists could never have dreamed of the internet. I hope their children and grandchildren see how many views there are of people who appreciate their incredible talent. I could watch this all day, in 2024

Never saw a happier bunch of musicians

I've heard so many versions of this song and they're all great. But in my opinion, this is the best version ever. Thank you.

Just EXTRAORDINARY. I listened to it more than 5 times at once and I still want to listen to it.
