#Thread morphs into #Instrumental , just because.

There's an interesting #backstory here: This song was used as an Advertising Jingle in Nova Scotia when I was a kid. Real Estate I believe, cats walked around checking out model (dollhouse) homes as this song played in the background.
I never knew its name, or artist; no way to search but I never stopped trying. I just found it in the last 5 years.

There were whole shows back then, #Trios, Kingston, Chad Mitchell Trio, and The Weavers did some old stuff in stories. I'm better thinking at before 5am than after 5pm. @NovaNaturalist Added to the #Thread
