To everyone who reached out to help me with my problem: Noel96, Matt Finley, BarryKJ, cubanpete, VideoTrack, Guitarhacker, and MarioD…

I went ahead and re-constructed the song as “Guitarhacker” and Matt Finley suggested, which was a fine idea that yielded unexpectedly pleasing results, such as new and better (I hope!) chord progessions, a slightly different song form – from AABAA to AABA – and, in general, a strongly-felt sense of humility in the wake of all the unselfish and unflaggingly generous support you folks pitched at me. You make me want to be like you.

I’m going to have to write a song about you guys! Thank you very much for “walking with me” down this particular path…

Most sincerely,

bluage
