Strummin' & a-Bummin'

[Eric]

 I saw a homeless guy earlier on a corner on the feeder road strumming a guitar. When I got closer, I saw that he never moved his hand on the fret board. When I got closer still, I saw that half the strings on the guitar were missing. He was wailing away on that thing though. I guess he figured that no one driving by would notice the discrepancies.

Eric is so inconsiderate.  He didn't even say hi to me when he passed by me.

Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away. As long as he doesn't bother anyone else.

You can play 90% of The Beatles early songs that way.

Since when does a Georgia boy know Thoreau?

And it was a drummer, not a strummer ol' Henry David was talkin' about.

Just joshing you, amigo.

 

Seriously, I encourage folk to read the entire  quote.  It is a wonderful observation.

 

Heck, I'll print for y'all.

If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away.

 

So, there.
