Thanks to a friend in the audience, here is a video of Chris Day of Buckdancer's Choice, Terry, Eleanor, and I playing "Pineapple Mango" Saturday morning, June 21, at Tommy's Park as part of the international Make Music Day.  Chris skillfully and beautifully handled the melody, while Terry, Eleanor, and I managed the strumming background.
