I'm just shooting in the dark here. After an exhausting and fruitless internet search, I still cannot find any information on the song below. I'm looking for: - Who wrote the song (or who wrote the music and who wrote the lyrics) - who was it sung by - an approximate year of publication
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! LLOYD S

Love a little, live a little D Happy go lucky lookin’ for a baby Who’ll be A7 happy go lucky and go out with D me
I got the words and chords from my uncle, who sings and plays guitar and wrote it out from memory. He's 97 years young, and was surprised that he (and I) couldn't find it on the internet. He's been performing it (and still does) but likes to announce who wrote and performed it, and what year. His audience is his fellow members of the seniors center where he lives.
Thanks everyone for your efforts. The only resource I haven't been able to use Mudcat.org. I keep getting this error:
"The web site you are accessing has experienced an unexpected error. Please contact the website administrator."
If anyone else can access that, it's been useful for other "vintage" songs I've tried. Thanks! LLOYD S
I thought perhaps it goes by a different name instead of happy go lucky. I looked through the lyrics trying to decide whatvwould it be named in stead. Tried many of those but to no avail. Found a pretty good song search site that gave me almost 300 songs with happy go lucky in their lyrics still no luck. Maybe whoever taught him this song wrote it but it was never a published song?
My wife asked if I had seen the dog bowl. I told her I didn't even know he could.
I questioned him on perhaps he may have just heard someone sing it, and learned from someone he knew. (Even asked if maybe he had written it himself!). He's certain it was a commercial recording from his early years, and it's not like he's "losing it". Even at 97 he still has a repertoire of literally dozens of songs he can do without words or chords, and many hundreds more that he can do with a song sheet in front of him.
He continues to amaze me. Hope I'm that lucid at 77 never mind 97!

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

With this update, there's more control when saving images from the Print Preview window, we've added defaults to the MultiPicker for sorting and font size, updated printing options, updated RealTracks and other content, and addressed user-reported issues with the StylePicker, MIDI Soloists, key signature changes, and more!
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
