"...if you want some tips on how to craft songs that can grab a listener's attention before you unleash that shred solo, Selover delivers a master class on the art of seductive songcraft" - Michael Molenda, Guitar Player Magazine (April, 2009)
The turkey shot out of the oven and rocketed into the air, it knocked every plate off the table and partly demolished a chair.
It ricocheted into a corner and burst with a deafening boom, then splattered all over the kitchen, completely obscuring the room.
It stuck to the walls and the windows, it totally coated the floor, there was turkey attached to the ceiling, where there'd never been turkey before.
It blanketed every appliance, it smeared every saucer and bowl, there wasn't a way I could stop it, that turkey was out of control.
I scraped and I scrubbed with displeasure, and thought with chagrin as I mopped, that I'd never again stuff a turkey with popcorn that hadn't been popped.
HEY, SCRAPING FOR CHANGE!!! I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR SEEING SHAKY DON OUT HERE!!! AND I WANT TO WISH YOU A HAPPY 2009!!! YOUR FANTASTIC MAN !!! WELCOME ABOARD !!!MUSIC FOREVER!!! SHAKY DON
