Requested by subscriber MikeSmithDazioXYZ the song Catch Us If You Can was a hit for the Dave Clark 5 in the mid 1969's. The song was written by Dave Clark and Lenny Davidson and featured a strained harmonica solo which try as I might, I have not been able to master, so in my video, I have not attempted to play it, just settling for the guitar accompaniment.
The song served as the title song to John Boorman's well-regarded 1965 DC5 vehicle and pop scene film Catch Us If You Can (retitled Having a Wild Weekend in the U.S.). The title phrase was seemingly a take-off on the 1959 crime film Catch Me If You Can and similar phrases, with "me" turned to the group's "us".

![Guitar and B Harmonica Mighty Quinn (Including lyrics and chords)
Note: Capo at 4th fret, so I am really playing and singing in the key of B.
The Mighty Quinn was the first song I performed yesterday at our monthly sing-around at the sheltered accommodation at which I live.
The following notes come from Wikipedia:
Quinn the Eskimo (The Mighty Quinn) is a folk-rock song written and first recorded by Bob Dylan in 1967 during The Basement Tapes sessions. The songs first release was in January 1968 as Mighty Quinn in a version by the British band Manfred Mann, which became a great success. It has been recorded by a number of performers, often under the Mighty Quinn title.
The subject of the song is the arrival of Quinn (an Eskimo), who prefers a more relaxed lifestyle (jumping queues and making haste just aint my cup of meat) and refuses hard work (Just tell me where to put em and Ill tell you who to call), but brings joy to the people.[original research?]
Dylan is widely believed to have derived the title character from actor Anthony Quinns role as an Eskimo in the 1960 movie The Savage Innocents. Dylan has also been quoted as saying that the song was nothing more than a simple nursery rhyme. A 2004 Chicago Tribune article[6] said the song was named after Gordon Quinn, co-founder of Kartemquin Films, who had given Dylan and Howard Alk uncredited editing assistance on Eat the Document (1966).
