Out of all of the songs for the guitar, I only know two. One is that classic hit: "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star". The other song isn't. I'm not sure what it is.
Oh sure, with a little practice, I could do "The Flight of the Bumblebee" with amazing agility. But, throw in a guitar and "the flight" would become an agonizing crawl - bumblebee not included.
A friend talked about playing "Seventy-six Trombones" on a guitar. I said, "That must be one huge guitar to fit 76 trombones on." After my friend made a few disparaging remarks about my intelligence, he went on to explain that it was the song called "Seventy-six Trombones".
A song? That didn't make any sense. Why would any one use a guitar to play a tune about trombones? What's next? Having a guy wear a dress to his construction job so he can get whistled at? What a drag.
Maybe I'll just skip the playing part and begin emulating one of my favorite rock groups, The Who. They were a charming groups of lads who would end their high energy performances by using the floor to tune their guitars flat. I can do that.
