Subject: Travelin' Man by Ricky Nelson
I was surprised this wasn't on OLGA yet. I heard it on the oldies radio
station a couple of weeks ago and remembered what a great tune it was. Andy
Rogers must have forgot about this one. You can tell I'm probably over 40
too. Just a little. I made a trip to the local library, checked out Ricky
Nelson's Greatest hits and worked this out on Saturday morning. Hope I got
it right. Thanks for all the great music. I could use some Dave Clark Five.
