Sounds good to me. This is a song I will be dancing to and again with the

Thanks, Alan

You're welcome - though to be honest, I should probably send more time

BTW, I watched the Jimmy Buffet version of Christmas Island yesterday, and
thought I might use his intro (first 2 lines below) if no one objects.
I transposed it so it would be in the correct key. I think there may be some
extra chords in the song itself, but it fits with the version we are using.
