Have Heart Package
The other night, I saw a bunch of bands at Anchors Up. During one of the sets, the guitarist’s strap broke. A bunch of dudes tried to put it back together while he played, but it was really broken. After the song, and him playing very awkwardly, the guitarist called out for a new guitar, […]
