Explanation: song about mr. gretsch and ms. strat encouraging a young boy to play the guitar (Gretsch and Fender Stratocaster a.k.a. Strat are wellknown guitar brands in the vintage rock & roll scene).
Remark: The song has been recorded by me in the studio of LRS in Berlin together with the nucleus of The Round Up Boys, Cherry Casino & The Gamblers, Spo-Dee-O-Dee and Ike & The Capers.
Remark: please judge me as a songwriter, not a guitar player

LYRICS:
C
Daddy Gretsch and mama Strat
Were walking down the street
F
They saw a little blue boy
Who was in so C much need
G
He just sat there F with his guitar on C his feet
Mother Strat asked him, what's goin' on with you
That little boy looked up, "don't know what to do"
"I can't play the guitar, I'm just feeling blue"
C Listen boy
C We're gonna enjoy
C With some tricks
C And fine guitar licks
Keep on rehearsing, till the sun goes down
After some time, you'll be number one
20 years later they again came down the lane
That little blue boy has been grown up and was a man
He played at a party and everyone was his fan
He played his guitar like never before
All the teens there were dancing on the floor
And Gretsch, Strat, everyone were yelling for more
