H-357 Love Frankie Ballard

[skydog52]

I'm sure this has been here before but worth a revisit.  Good story

Wish I could write contemporary country love songs and get rich like that!

You never see him play anything but his 157.

[TalismanRich]

Hey,  I'll write you some lyrics!  Just just put the music behind it.

 

    My girl don't like my pickup truck, But my dog sure does.

    That old hound dog's taste is so much better than her's ever was.

That was great!  Frankie deserves that 357.

Let's keep this rolling:

 

Now listen my friends and don't get me wrong,

     There's another fiasco, yet to come along.

I watched Frankie's tale and started to ball,

     As he cradled that Heritage and referenced Les Paul!

I loves my One-Fifty was all that I said,

     At the end of the day as I crawled into bed.

My wife shrieked and stared as she spun around,

     Tonight, she continued, you'll sleep with that hound!

Weren't long before she left me for some handsome steed

     An amp and One-Fifty is all that I'll ever need.

Thanks for posting this one, Paul.  A Great Story and a beautiful 357.

Makes me wonder if that 357 neck is too thick for him.  

[DetroitBlues]

I know I'd love to play them but the newer 357's are massively wide and fat.  I've played four of five and they are unbelievable.  I played that prototype.  It was wider, but thin, so it was manageable.
