Slim,

After a short search for a video of 'harmonica and ukulele' I found this

Somewhere along the way I stumbled across the Marvin Gaye version of the
National Anthem, one of my favorites.

Then, that led to another funny looking kid doing the Star Spangled Banner.

Time to curl up with my new book "Ike", get some sleep, and start the
sailing season tomorrow!
