This song has been going through my head today for some reason. “That echo chorus lied to me with its ‘hold on hold on hold on hold on.’” Mr. Dybka bought me a post-surgery present & I can play a dorky version of House of the Rising Sun. That instrument actually plays very well. I know what guitar chords look like from when I was a bass player [warning: contains the 1980s], but getting my fingers to do that. Well. And the strings are so thin! …maybe I’ll try to learn that Neko Case song. I think there’s a 7th chord in there though. Maybe not. LOL.
