Thank you for posting this song.

I truly enjoyed it--such easy rhythms and tuneful too. I even recognized some of the structure!

I'm glad you liked the tune.

I heard it on the radio earlier today and decided to give others a chance to hear it. The tune is sort of like gospel music, and it's bluesy as well -- especially when Milt Jackson plays it.
