Guitar Quote by Roy Wood

“Unfortunately, most of the songs that I write I don't write them with guitar in mind. I just write it as a song and that was probably one of the ones that left an opening for it. The song's all right, I wouldn't choose to sing it now.” quote by Roy Wood — Download Open image
