It's been a while since I've submitted anything to the Chet Board, so I figure now is as good a time as any. I met my wife at the University of Tennessee, my daughter is currently enrolled there, and this song is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, so it just made sense to try it. I read that Felice and Boudleaux Bryant wrote the song in 10 minutes as a diversion from working while holed up in the Gatlinburg Inn on a project for Archie Campbell and Chet. Here it is, warts and all.

Thanks,

Brent Walker
