Within, sometime shortly after that, I can't really pin down the, I'm still in the army, right?
But I'm working on getting released, getting out.
Somewhere, I think in June or July, I don't exactly know, my honorable discharge shows up.
I opened this package that's been sitting there for a couple of days because it said official government business.
And I find it was for me.
It was, you know, an apartment house.
I mean, this is the biggest struggle has been of my life.
I turned a little cartwheel on the lawn because I want to remember that I turned the cartwheel and ran in the house and picked up my guitar and started playing.
playing these chords that are somewhat like Beethoven.
Oh, I start strumming this beat.
I start hearing this chorus.
See, the first thing I said was, left a good job in the city.
That was getting out of the army.
Wow, working for the man every night and day.
