Once there was a time
I'd rob my mama
For a good meal
and a smoke
Once there was a time
I'd rob my brother
For a dollar
When I was broke
But I'd never sell my guitar
And my strings were always sharp
Cause if I don't have a guitar
I'll be strumming on some angel's harp
And if I don't get to heaven
And I go down there below
Better be a guitar when I get there
Or, I will refuse to go
Once thee was a time I was hungry
And I'd find my food in some bin
But I'd never sell my guitar
Cause that would, darling, be a sin
RIP Alvin...one of the best ever. To those that don't know, "l'm going home" stole the show at Woodstock.

My two favorite songs were Choo Choo Mama and Good Morning Little School Girl.

(2,850 posts)across Canada, with Janice, The Greatful Dead and several others, but they wouldn't sign a release to be in the film. I loved the band.
RIP and may you find a guitar where ever you find yourself.

Go with the muses, dear sir. Say hello to Jimi for us.
