Very nice! Plus, for the courtesy of you and others who view this, I have the lyrics for the song and they are below if you want to read them while listening or sing along. It begins at the 1:38 mark. The sun shines bright on My Old Kentucky Home, 'tis Summer, the people are gay; The corn-top's ripe and the meadow's in the bloom, while the birds make music all the day.

O, weep no more today! We will sing one song for My Old Kentucky Home, for My Old Kentucky Home far away.

We will sing one verse for the OKH.
