The knocking comes faster and faster and he doesn't know when to come in!

I'll be fine - I'll have a double bass player to protect me...

A- the tuning pegs all line up
B- the strings are all the same tension
c- the keyboard player quit complaining |

typical uninformed guitar hackers. I too appreciate the banjo. It provides great fills for a richer sound. However these guys sucked me in and I started making bad banjokes. |

Location: Upper Left USA | Let me attempt to pacify this situation by closing with the following:
The Ballad of Al Pepiak
Come and listen to a story bout a man named Al
A poor guitar player, Bims and Drummers were his pals.
Teaching English to the children where they didn’t speak a word
On the East Coast in Joisey, it was totally absurd
Diction that is, the spoken word.
As time goes by Al is reaping in the dough
On an English Teachers salary, you say it isn’t so
But with the Rock and Roll equipment that keeps rolling on his floor
He’d buy it real high and sell it for much more
Amps that is, Old guitars, shiny dreams.
Well the next thing you know Al is making music pay
He can find those guitars that people love to play
Then one day you can’t imagine what he’d found
A different kind of axe where the back was round
Ovation that is, kind of odd!
These guitars that Al is selling they are different and unique
When he sells them overseas, the Samurai just Freak!
The solidbody parts in his basement that is deep
Go for what the whole darn thing cost when the Factory had a heap!
Unappreciated that is, Feeling no Love!
The next step Al takes is to sell them full time, Wow!
It isn’t always easy (like it seems to be now)
The bills still come in but Ol Al is without fear
You can hear Al say “I’m just an Idjut selling gear”
Amps and things, textured tops too!
Al and Miles, they meet up one day to shoot the $!@# with friends
They have to end their meetin’ wishing it would never end
When a bolt of 110 lighting hits old Miles through the eyes
“Al Gore’s internet” he clamors “We’ll meet there most every night”!
Bulletin Boards, Modem speed, HTML
Well the first meetings there draw a very different crowd
From the Left and the Right, from fields just freshly plowed
If you do a little search you can find them still
You’re dang sure to run into some retired guy named Bill
From a Gas station that is, (or is it GAS to you?)
Time goes by and the Meeting room gets big
Al’s like a god to the Ovation Factory
They’re selling them new aLeX thingies both near and very far
It don’t take long and there’s an “OFC” Guitar
Shrouded in Mystery, Soon to be told!
Well the story isn’t over there’s a lot more to tell
With the Brothers and the Sisters doing very, very well
You can get an education. You can pass the time of day
You can speak your @#$# mind! Just don’t be mean so they say!
Freedom that is, Democracy, even at work!
Y’all come back now! Ya Hear! |
