      Another person that does not understand YT "Views" does not equate to people watching\hearing an audio-video presentation.
      All it means is a URL handshake was accomplished between two computers for ~1 second.
      I have auto-play selected therefore when I am un-attendant my computer plays videos I have never seen before.
      The TU\TD is a much better indicator of people that have actually "watched" the video and that is 172K as I write this.
      Why does this have to be explained to so many so often?
      It's like explaining what PPE is to Americans.

The whole band was great and this tune will float through my mind when I take my last breaths on Earth (hopefully in twenty years or so!). It's beyond a 'classic' song.

      My uncle, Steven Edward Belville, served in the Vietnam War and suffered horrific injuries, both physically and mentally, so severe that he would return to the States an obviously and forever changed very young man, 18 or 19 years old. Barely out of childhood and had not even reached the prime of his life, when him and two of his fellow soldiers, all three young MEN, were defending their position in a foxhole as a major attack began during the Tet offensive. He was the only survivor of those three wonderful and loved young men that resulted from a volley of grenades hurled at, into and detonating in their foxhole. He wasn't able to escape that horrific battle without some of the most debilitating injuries. He lost 2 friends, two legs, an ear, an eye, suffered significant nerve damage to his arm, and mental trauma, that he would live with for the remainder of his life. God, I loved my uncle Steve! I had some incredibly wonderful uncles, but he will always remain alive in memories as such a kind, loving, MAN, that always took time to talk to me and never had a negative word to say. Thank you uncle Steve and over 50,000 soldiers who died and who knows how many that suffered mental and physical wounds for your service to YOUR and OUR country and ensuring I am able to celebrate The 4th of July each and every year!
