What a cool story! Warmed my heart to hear. :) I hope you're able to teach him the song and even if it doesn't work out I think it's awesome that you tried! And also awesome that he was eager to learn something new. Should be a memorable experience for the both of you hopefully!
I just listened to the song and that's a good one! I listened to that one quite a few times growing up while working with my father who often had the radio on. Some fond memories there. :)
Great entry man! I thoroughly enjoyed it and think the world would be a much better place if there were more people interesting in teaching and learning artforms with each other.

PS.. Oh I see you got a curie too! Nice! Congrats.
