How To Be Guitar King

Hey y'all...how ya doin' in these here rough times? Got plenty to do? Good. Keep yourself busy and you won't get to worryin' about things that don't need worryin' about. Take it from somebody who grew up in some hard times. Early America...where a blind man might a seen more trouble than y'all could ever imagine. So keep yourself busy. Ya got plenty a toys and things to entertain yourself. Laptops, phones, mp3 players. Video games. Just keep your mind occupied while you work at something. That's exactly what I did. And it worked out for me. If a blind man can make a living, then that's proof enough that America is a land of opportunity. So create your dream with the passion you were born with. Or whatever it is you need to do. And do it. Don't sit around talkin' about somethin' you aint done yet. Talk about somethin' ya already done did. But not for too long. Make somebody's ear fall off, if you talk too much about yourself. Just do the darn thing. Old Tommy did it. He ended up a guitar King...
