Frame

The columns frame the stars
As we share pieces of our souls
I heard the midnight bell toll
The sound seems so far

We stay safe where we are
Tucked in our little hole
With columns framing the stars
Sharing pieces of souls

I hear softly playing guitars
The night is almost controlled
Someday we will pay a toll
For taking our love way too far
When columns framed the stars

It Is The Length That Matters… The Strap Length That IS

So is it just me or have people forgotten how to adjust guitar straps?  It seems to be an epidemic lately!  It sounds catty maybe but if you are performing on stage you have to think about stage presence and how you look to your audience.  I have seen a rash of performers, both male and female, with guitars that are too high or low on their body or too small or large for their frame.  Yes, it is an instrument and it matters what it sounds like but if you like Alice in Wonderland or like you stole your kid’s toy it destroys the image of a rock god!  I know this isn’t my usual rant but I needed to get this out there.  Your guitar should be proportional to your body and sit at your hip.  Also if you don’t have your guitar strap situated properly, you will sustain injuries to your shoulders, hands, hips, and fingers.  Sorry, just wanted to rant!
