Aim where you’re Hitn’ by Roger L. Gilchrist
Aim where you’re Hitn’ by Roger L. Gilchrist Grown away from Wyoming What has been done can’t be undone Wound yourself tight around this Man A man with few lessons for his son.

No more advice for that night Many more nights passed before I saw the light Take what I’ve hit as what my aim has been Make careful, that the hits in life, have to come from within. Yes I had a father once Before he hit his aim of seclusion Locked up his voice of … Read entire article »

Guitar by Eddie Olivas
Since about 2003 or 2004 I’ve been playing guitar. My whole life before that I had nothing to do with musical instruments or playing music. I was always more of an athletic type. Never really had any focus on exactly what it was I wanted to be. Closest I ever came to a guitar was when my uncle Billy lived next door. He had a Marshall double stack and a bunch of electric guitars. He … Read entire article »
