Set List Reader's Choice Special Edition

- July Top Posts -

In this last day of July 2020, I am opting for a unique take on what would normally be the end of month set list.  

The 4th of July was a musical blast on Set List, so I did not create my usual 10-song list.

In this post, then, my unique take is a set list of your top favorite posts throughout the month of July.

With that said, enjoy!

Set List Reader's Choice

In this edition of Set List Reader's Choice, your top favorite is a themed tie:

Astronauat2005 Drummer cover of "Every Breath You Take" by The Police

Background, Successes, Honors, Certifications 

Upon reflection, Sting once noted that "Every Breath You Take" was more like "Big Brother, surveillance and control."

In knowing the lyrics, I am inclined toward stalking rather than invasive watch by the government.

What do you think of "Every Breath You Take"?

zZounds Electric Guitars - Limited Quantity Bonus Edition

Due disclaimer - This post contains affiliate links and I may be compensated on any purchase made.

In the original zZounds Electric Guitars - Limited Quantity post, I suggested considering and purchasing a must-have electric guitar that is low in quantity now if seriously interested.  This suggestion was offered for the "everyday" guitar.  

So what should you do if an iconic replica from an iconic guitarist is available but in very low stock?  My best guess - buy now if you are a long-time fan and/or serious guitar collector.

With that said, zZounds products are generally in stock and guaranteed for a purchase, whether in a flat sum or in monthly installments.
