I am supposed to sing this song the 3rd Saturday night in May. I picked it off the radio to be able to sing and play it but I am older now so I need to bring it down a step and a half. I dont play by ear so this is difficult for me to do. Would love to have the music or a Sound track. Thanks for anyones help.
