My name is Smith, and since I decided I
wouldn't play my guitar anymore, I have never been to any kind of
rock concert again. I believe it was 10 years ago. Life was much
easier than nowadays, and I was happy if I could just keep playing in
the afternoon.
One day, after one gig, I just decided to give away my
guitar, to my good and closest friend, and said I wouldn't play
anymore. As a matter of fact, I can't even remember why... And now,
I'm gonna check how the music has changed ever since.
Well, I couldn't expect the blues to be
so alive and sounding so good... It gives me thrills! And there he
is, my great friend, who is still playing. But, wait... Isn't that...
my old guitar? Yes. There she is.
I never expected that he would ask me
to join the band to play the classic blues song Cocaine. I told him
“It's been a long time since I rock 'n' roll”, but he just gave
me my guitar back. She is still the same. A shiny cherry color, not
as heavy as she seemed to be, golden pick ups and with strings asking
for a great solo.
And there I was, in front of not so
many people, some of them drinking at the bar, some enjoying the
song... and I played. And it was like going back in time. 10 years
back in time. Life was wonderful again, full of joy, and... life!
We
jammed through the night, and when the gig was over, he who had just
put me in trouble told me I should keep my guitar back, because she
never sounded as great as she would with my playing, and how amazing
it was to listen to the sound my guitar and I did on the stage.
And now, here I am, looking to my
guitar while writing the words about a great night that told me we
are never too old to rock 'n' roll.
