Hi Andy, just a little story on this song.
My late father was a Nigerian guitarist back in the 40's 50's and 60's.
This is something he and his band members would say while taking to each other and contemplating life. "What will be will be". A little philosophical thought for you. Keep up the guitar videos 🎸🎼👍
