I Can Do It
FRESH APPLES
"I Can Do It” is a song about a train… and a boy… It is also a clever fiddle tune with a clever fiddle tuning (G-D-F-Bb rather than the standard G-D-A-E). It’s a toe-tapper you’re sure to love tappin’ your toes to!
Doc created the tune in 2009, and when he played it for Meryl in 2024, she said it made her think of a train. Doc's favorite childhood

Doc created the tune in 2009, and when he played it for Meryl in 2024, she said it made her think of a train. Doc's favorite childhood toy was his wooden train set, and he remembered his old picture book about "The Little Engine That Could". He imagined a steam locomotive trying to haul a heavy load up a steep grade while repeating "I can do it, I can do it.". After that, the lyrics to the song practically wrote themselves.
