No love for a Cheeseball
As I walked through the hallway, all the doorways and stairways being light by the weird glow of multi colored lighting bugs hung up on a string that stretched across the rooftop. They went in every which direction not caring where but only seeming to please themselves, much like Democrats.

You bring back fond memories from my youth, sitting finger picking night after night driving my mother to distraction. 'trouble is I seldom play guitar these days other than for money and spend my time at home dabbling with virtual instruments on computers.
I'm enjoying all your tracks here and for me the greatest credit I can give you is to say 'I am going to pick that Takamine up and spend a few hours away from the PC.
Kind Regards
