I’m very close to one of my teachers and her husband, they’re both young and are like second parents or friends when I don’t have my own with me. They just announced they’re having a baby boy in July 2023 and i’m learning this song for him. I hope I get to meet you someday baby E 🙂
does anyone have any strumming pattern suggestions? thanks
