Nicely done! Having become popularly known in the Ukraine as a traditional folk song, despite having been composed in 1968, it shares a trait with an American song I may share soon, "Ashokan Farewell," which was used in a TV documentary about the U.S Civil War (1860-1865), and was thought by many to have been a traditional song from that era, notwithstanding that it was written in 1982 by the manager of a music camp in Ashokan, New York State. But then as Louis Armstrong is famously quoted about jazz being "folk" music: "all music is folk music; I ain't never heard no horse sing a song,"

Thank you Rob! I think

Thank you Rob! I think nowadays I could play it better (but i didn't try though). This was one of my first attempts to play something different then blues on harmonica.
