It is a Courage arrangement that was inspired by
"Beyond The Blue Horizon" but not Olsen's. The arrangement that captivated Courage, was by Richard Whiting and Franke Harling.

BTW - lyrics were never meant to be part of this piece of music. The addition of the lyrics was done unbeknownst to Courage, solely for the purpose of profit.

Hey . . . please post the banjo tabs. It will be a better song if you add a banjer.

I say it is a loaf of pumpernickle. The clues include the burned bits. At least that is how mine turns out.

You told us in one thread or another Lanny, that you were a licensed hummingbird bander. So.... Wild guess is hummingbirds.

I'm reviewing the Alpha codes but so far drawing a blank. Am I missing something?

Roy gets an "A" for for his pachydermic memory. Yes, they are hummingbird bands. They're the only bird bands that don't come pre-made; banders must make their own from preprinted sheets of 100. It's a giant PITA, and one of the reasons there are so few hummingbird banders.

Each band has a letter and five numbers. They wrap all the way around, and there isn't room for anything else.

The vignetting is from the 10X loupe I held in front of the iPad lens. Here's another shot with a ruler for scale:

Not a drill bit, it's not metal.

I can honestly say I'm mystified.
