Shoe by Gary Brookins and Susie MacNelly for October 23, 2019

should i hang the guitar and make him watch?

Stuff the guitar’s sound-box with marsh-mellows. That should sweeten the music, or at least reduce the volume a little.

Guitar Bob comes to Shoe’s world.

“Oh give me mah boots and mah saddle….” “Oh, give me ear plugs for my head!”

“With a song in my heart. . .” Or, what’s that saccharine saying: “The woods would be silent if only the best birds sang.” Or the always-applicable: “Don’t quit your day job.” Anyway, "Sing, sing a song, sing it loud, sing it long. . " and so forth and so on. Have a happy day!!!!

I never complain if someone wants to entertain me with music regardless how many notes they miss. I used to strum a guitar and sing for wife and kids and they still loved that even tho I could hardly play a lick.. That is one of their fondest memories..

Too many notes.

It is better than him playing a fretless banjo.

This is why coyotes howl.

They would have made learning violin easier, to start. Jenny would have been a better choice as my teacher if she were around in the late ’50s: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_UJDR5_xtA

Hard to play a guitar without fretting.

Crambone, nephew!
