Those holiday postings were great gang. Thanks, for that Rollie.

Here's another:

Christmas comes but once a year
When it comes? It's almost here
Everyday it gets a little closer
Oh, Boy!


That'll be the day for words of love
To embrace the ones you're thinking of
If you've been bad . . . It's too late.
That'll be the day.

Rock around with Ollie Vee
Wishing a Strat beneath the tree
Rock me my baby
Listen to me


Reminiscing True love ways
Not fade away the Holly days
And celebrate throughout the year
Buddy's Heartbeat still lives here.

FSB

Thanks, bro’.

That’s crazy. I’d long forgotten that piece, and coincidentally I watched, for the umpteenth time, the Buddy Holly movie two days ago, and afterwards I did some reading about how and why he traded his lightly used questionable ‘52/‘53 Goldtop LP and a “52 Les Paul Gibby amp for a Strat and Fender amp because that LP didn’t have the twang he was looking for. He never went back to an LP afterwards. It was Strat and Fender all the way (except for a Magnatone he would later bring home for practice). Even Tele escaped the clutch of Buddy (but not Gary Busey).

Thanks, for the memories, and the Christmas cheer, SBLS.

FSB

Enjoy your Strat and funky new amp over the holidays my friend. :mrgreen:

2017 is almost at an end and so I’ll add this:

KEEPING THE SPIRIT

Christmas time is almost here
Some will smoke and drink a beer
Kids will sit on Santa’s knee
Christmas concerts sing with glee
Till Christmas Day comes due.

Mom and Dad will look at toys
For all the little girls and boys
Turkeys, hams, go out the door
The charities they ask for more
And we all try our best

Women buy a Christmas dress
Others strive to fight their stress
Family, friends, and others share
The season’s cheer and all that’s there
For them, and me, and you

Religion? Well, it plays a part
Best wishes come straight from the heart
And when it ends on Christmas Day
I hope the good remains that way
And then we’ll need a rest



Merry Christmas and Happy New Year one and all. Have a ball.

FSB

Thanks! My pleasure, Rollie. I felt it was the Christmassy thing to do. :D

try this again
Christmas, add 1 line or 15, variations of lines, stay close to "The Night Before Christmas" poem but different or not so different if it fits, you know.

t'was some nights before Christmas
round the Forum, Fenders Lounge
not a byte of info was traveling
not a light blinking
not even a mouse clicking
anywhere in this guitar house

gig bags hanging
by the loading doors there
spirits of Leo and George
watch us with love and care
The IT team were nestled all snug in their beds
While visions of terabyte servers danced in their heads

with the Stratocaster in its hard-case
and the Telecaster on its stand
Fender offices lights switched to dimmer
computers moved to hibernate for
an overdue rest on this winters night
(spacewolf wrote: )
When what to my wondering eyes should appear?
The ghost of Jimi Hendrix with a Stratocaster near
He plugged it into an amp and blasted away
Playing Purple Haze for me on Christmas Day

I grabbed a guitar but couldn't begin to keep up
So I tried to blame it on a broken pup
But Jimi just laughed in his nonchalant way
And set fire to his guitar before fading away

I’ll carry on Rollie’s great night before Christmas theme with a move to the day after Christmas. :P
It’s Boxing Day so what the hey
Is trying to grab my hard earned pay?
There’s buyers, sighers, even criers
Who missed out on deals amongst the fliers.

They line up deep and camp to sleep
On sidewalks wanting deals so cheap
They rush the doors, they push, they shove
To be there first for things they love.
Tvs, Guitars, Clothes, and more
They come and go right out the door,

And then online they surf the Net
Some will charge and go in debt.
Include me in this crazy folly
Just like you it makes me jolly.

Retailers ship all sorts of gear
We’ll all repeat this game next year. :D
Happy Boxing Day shoppers!

FSB

Awesome, FSB! You and Rollie could write a book. An anthology of poetry by FSB and Rollie. :)
