A lovely song in the south sea island style, played by Jim Carter (starting around 2:50) on a lap steel guitar. Jim was 95 years of age in this video:

Is Jim still living? I saw he was still living on his own and driving his car in 2020 @ 100! Interesting guy especially when you read about him telling about his longevity!

I'm a big Neil Finn fan. Now I'm a big Jim Carter fan! That was very interesting.
