New Sounds quote - Catler on 12

"Fretting a guitar to 12 equal notes an octave
is like putting training wheels on a Harley."

Angie turned to me and said
hey sounds like something you'd say.

After seeing people I grew up with,
as wannabe rockstars,
some of them holding a guitar in their hand
I once likened to a preschooler holding
a plastic Fisher Price hammer;
"look I bang big thing
like daddie bang bang."

One of these kids actually said
"I'm going to be like Hendrix,
because I'm doing the same drugs."
Too bad the kid never recorded anything
before he OD'd.
