from Oannes *

“Έκτακτες συνθήκες” τέλος [I guess so anyway] οπότε επιστροφή στο κλαμπ των Φεβρουαριογεννημένων μουσικών.
Το συγκεκριμένο τραγούδι του σπουδαίου κιθαρίστα – singer – songwriter Johnny ‘Guitar’ Watson ήταν αυτό που ενέπνευσε τον Frank Zappa να ασχοληθεί με το συγκεκριμένο όργανο. Ο Frank δεν παρέλειπε ποτέ να αναφέρει τον JGW στους αγαπημένους του κιθαρίστες, μαζί με τον Allan Holdsworth και τον Jeff Beck…

✻

End of “state of emergency” [I guess so anyway] so we go back to the February born musicians’ club.
This particular song by the great guitarist – singer – songwriter Johnny ‘Guitar’ Watson inspired Frank Zappa to get involved with the instrument himself.
Frank never forgot to mention JGW among his favorite guitarists, along with Allan Holdsworth and Jeff Beck…

❝ It is three hours past midnight
And my baby’s nowhere around
Yes three hours past midnight
And my baby’s nowhere around
Well, I listen so hard to hear her footsteps
I ain’t even heard a sound
Well, I toss and tumble on my pillow
But I just can’t close my eyes
Oh, I toss and tumble on my pillow
But I just can’t close my eyes
If my baby don’t come back pretty soon
Yes, I just can’t be satisfied now
Look out
Look out
Keep right on
Well, I tried so hard to take
But my baby’s drivin’ me insane
Well, I tried so hard to take
Oh yeah
But my baby’s drivin’ me insane
Well if she’s don’t come back pretty soon
Yeah, gonna catch that midnight train
Yeah❞
