don & that 'choke on my daughter' song

when i was 19yo, i delivered pizzas for pizza hut. on occasion, i had the privilege to yoko-ize the deep purple classic 'smoke on the water.' except we didn't call it that. no no! we sang 'choke on my daughter, she's got tremendous thighs!'

that was years before i actually had a daughter or a guitar. the one song i ever really REALLY played, up to speed and in its entirety, was... you got it, 'smoke on the water.' sad, i know. i learned a variety of solos and rhythms and clips, notes, strums, chords. but nothing that i could actually play. and that disturbs me.

i've taken lessons from at least four people. and, except for that brief wisp through the land of richie blackmore, i've learned to play nada. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...
