Great tune, simple, takes one back to another time and in a way enchanting .
I find it really hard to believe that so many today embrace Rap and the Hip Hop Culture when they could be listening to so many other types of music that do not encourage abuse of women, violence, drugs, looting, fire bombing, aggression against police, and so much other destructive and anarchist actions .
Keep the classics coming, I am sure they are very much appreciated .
