Major Snagg is the invented name of the 'band' that perform all my own musical creations. (songs and instrumentals). I play guitars, bass, rudimentary keyboards, harmonica, and sing. Melody has always been important to me... lyrics and guitar solos have to say or communicate something. I create musical worlds that I hope that you dear listener, will also want to explore and live in for a few moments...or longer if you feel that way inclined.

Story behind the song
I wanted to record a straight ahead pop song with a 'retro' feel for my London Aftershock (volume 1) album. I think this fits the bill. A song from a time when melody and harmony were much more important and prominent in the pop charts.
Lyrics
Phone Box (c) 2024 - David A Briggs I'll keep on calling, calling you on the phone. and you'll keep on pretending, that there's no one home. I'll keep on trying, I've got to get through to you. I'll keep on feeding that phone box, If that's what I've got to do. Monday, Tuesday, could we get together again? Good day sunshine, even in the pouring rain. I'll make you mine, any which way I can. but I haven't thought up, some great masterplan. Oh, I still remember, your perfume in the air, I just want to hold you, I just want to stroke your hair. Thursday, Friday, could we meet up again? It would be such a good day, even in the pouring rain. Jangly 12 string guitar solo: Thursday, Friday, could we meet up again? It would be such a good day, even in the pouring rain. I'm standing in the pouring rain, standing in the pouring rain. I'll make you mine, any which way I can. but I haven't thought up, some great masterplan. One day, someday, oh curse this English rain. Standing outside this phone box, is it money down the drain? guitar outro:

Oh this takes me back ! How do you come up with subjects like this ! I remember being an apprentice footballer up in Hull in the early 70s . Met a girl and when I came back to Bristol used to get as much change as I could , walk around to the closest phone box and phone her in Hull . People queuing outside the phone box giving me daggers because I took so long until my change ran out ! Obviously the relationship died a death but great memories of our lives back then ! How did we manage ! Great song David .

Well it took me a while but I finally got round to listening to your latest releases and I’m glad I did. This is a really well crafted song - all the elements fit together perfectly - a real gem. And yes I do remember the days when you had to communicate using public phone boxes - wow how did we even do that? Standing in the rain waiting to put coins into the phone box just to try and speak to that special someone. The simple life was really complicated! Great tune Mr B!

I can really appreciate all the work you've put into the vocal parts. Love that jangly guitar. An instantly likeable song, skillfully performed & produced. Love the sound of those drums too - they have a very live sound to them & quite a kick!

Oh I LOVE It. Brilliant. Love the Harmonies. And Jangly Bangly bits. Oh Here Comes Lucy... I knew this would happen. "I'll hear David's song, She'll throw me next one at me right then." How did I know?? 12 String Jangly Bangly. And back to the Harmonies... "Standing in the falling rain..." You will single-handedly redefine London! They'll all thank you later! He said.
