Dougie's Guitar Distinction

 

He is a wizard of the strings

A maestro on the fret

Yet he is but eleven -

It’s easy to forget.

The fingers that fought battles

And mastered awesome games

Now conjure notes from out the air

For classical refrains

Move over that Segovia

Mark Knopfler stand aside

That Dougie is the one to watch

His Grandpa’s full of pride

The boy’s done good it’s certain

And if I failed to mention

He didn’t just nail his exam

He passed it with distinction.
