never named mine before.....guitar that is

I think it could work out very nice with the right arrangement
Hi Kenny thanks for the feedback, good pick up on the words there in retrospect I think they're a bit obscure, I don't know if they do it in the USA but when shops shut down in the UK they paint the window out and scrape Closing Down in big letters across it so that reference was to the guy scraping the paint off the window between the words, I now realise that could be lost in translation. The Jennifer referred to Donovan's song Jennifer Juniper maybe I was being too clever there so that can be changed too, I was going to put Strums some Pete Seeger but Jennifer jumped into my head, actually I've still got the song in my head, Donovan is a great songwriter.
Glad you liked it just needs a tweak or two

All the Best

Chris
