“Oh the Coo Coo is a pretty bird, she warbles as she flies. She never hollers Coo Coo till the fourth day of July…”

    It is nice to hear you singing this well-played song. I hope to hear more of you in the future.

  3. Your singing is terrific. You hit that song on the nose. I’m glad if my example gave you encouragement. You’ve heard the Doc Watson-Clarence recordimngs?
