This might just be one of my favorite tags of all time - "Once Upon A Time", arranged by the mighty Rob Campbell and sung by gold medal quartets like Keepsake and Musical Island Boys.

To me, the Keepsake rendition with Joe Connelly's charismatic lead voice is such a memorable performance.

There are some different version of this tag, but I chose to stick as close to Keepsake's version as I could - for instance letting the bass hang with the post instead of pausing.

I hope you all enjoy this new format for short/easy tags, where I post the full tag, the tutorial AND the singalong in one big video. Let me know what you thing of it in the comments!
