http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07SrFYQDiAE This is great! John talks about folks coming up to him at shows and telling him that they wrote their own verse for the song and they share it with him. In this video, John adds another verse that he wrote.
Let us challenge ourselves.... who has a verse to add to the song?
Write one right now...like John says on the video..."Geevum". See what you can come up with for fun.
