A 'twangy guitar', instrumental version of a well known calypso song. I'm not certain who actually wrote it...it seems to be a little vague. It's an old tune from Hawaii, I think. I had great fun learning how to play this.

Major Snagg is the invented name of the 'band' that perform all my own musical creations. (songs and instrumentals). I play guitars, bass, rudimentary keyboards, harmonica, and sing. Melody has always been important to me... lyrics and guitar solos have to say or communicate something. I create musical worlds that I hope that you dear listener, will also want to explore and live in for a few moments...or longer if you feel that way inclined.

Story behind the song
I've known this song since I was quite young. Calypso pre-dates reggae I guess. Anyway, I like the 'Island vibe' this tune has . It's very much an out-doors kind of music. Music for fun, drinking and Limbo dancing... I used my Eastwood Astro Cadet Bill Nelson Signature guitar on this recording. ok, where's my can of Red Stripe Lager.
Lyrics
Sing along if you can remember them.

Great guitar tone! Brilliantly performed...I'd almost forgotten this song existed, it's years since I heard it on the radio. Thanks for reminding us of a great classic - perfect for a hot Summer!
