Default Guitar pick story #69: The Spider

So a lady told me she not only played guitar, but also mandolin and piano. I gave her a pick and asked her for a story.
She said she had a sort of guitar story. She was playing piano at church one Sunday when she looked up to see a giant spider crawling down the American flag that was touching the piano. She is deathly afraid of spiders and could not help but jump up and RUN. As she did she took out two guitars and a couple of singers. [emoji15]
So even playing piano that day she got a good guitar pick story!

Reminds me of a pool-table fight as I was playing one Saturday night ...

I think someone did.

"I don't like spiders and snakes . . . "

That was the opening line of a great tune - back in the late '60's i think.
