WAS POSTED ON FB

and a little play through. 
It needs some set up and tweaking, hoever its really nice!

Moving fwd we seem to go back
Every succession brings a
backlash of regression

Freedoms fought for
now destroyed
Freedoms of the many
stolen by the few.

Who’s going to remember choice?
Everybody’s got a voice
Screaming at the top of your lungs
Won’t diminish what on my tongue!

Say what you have to say
Just remember
I don’t have to think that way

What’s right for you
is not how l must see.
You be you
Just let  me … be … me. 

This is in work, using this riff (its actually Garage beer days with different rhythm)

https://youtu.be/2ERFReK1Oz4

Has it gotten better?
What have we to show?
Society regressing
The common man now a debtor.

Chorus:
Another day comes.
Another day goes.
Tell me where are we going?
No one knows.

New days like old
Old days anew
Beware the rising tide,
It’s coming for you

Chorus:
Another day comes.
Another day goes.
Tell me where are we going?
No one knows.

Dogs of war still howl to the sky
Crawling out from under a rock 
testing integrity,
while playing who has a bigger c@#k

Psychopathic personalities roam everywhere
There is no solution to the public pollution
Nothing to do but stop and stare.
I see no gods granting absolution.

New days like old
Old days anew
Beware the rising tide,
It’s coming for you

Let me Take you on a little trip back to 1986, This budding guitarist has had 1 pos and 2 ok"ish" electrics, then had a pretty nice Ibanez Strat.

This is the year I got my very first IRS return. I went directly to my favorite (family owned even to this day) music store, looked on the small rack of "Yes Scott, we got some new stuff in this last week" guitars. I looked right at this guitar and said THAT ONE! Add a hard case and this G20C.

It all was rung up. I took out my return check ($1000) and signed it over. I was still a few hundred short.

Scott -"Put it all in the back and I'll have it all paid off in a few weeks"
Frank (Shop owner) "We know you, take the new gear and enjoy, we know you will pay it off."

NO KIDDING??  For a 18Yr old kid who loitered and played with their toys every other weekend. (I had bought 3 prior bargain used guitars from them) this meant a lot then and still does.

That my friends is how a family owned shop stays around and gets its rep. Not to mention knowing the loyal clients.
So after all that, in 1990 I was trying to be an adult on my own. I had to pawn all that gear to live. Now, 32 years later I located another one. I hope its the same beautiful pearl white as my old one.

Yes its a Nostalgia purchase. But not passing it up either!
