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
The Searchers had their own particular jingle-jangle 12 string guitar lead sound but sadly, they never really escaped from that particular sound, or the 60's tribute show circuit. They enjoyed a good run of singles. I've joined a great song by Smokey Robinson & The Miracles onto this, as the subject matter of the two songs tie in nicely with each other. So, not so much of a 'cover', more a 're-imagining' of both songs. Just for a bit of added fun (for me anyway) I used my old homemade guitar. ..the 'Briggs Polar 3'. here are the correct song writters credits...C 1963- Billy Jackson and Jimmy Wisner (Don't Throw Your Love Away) C 1960- Smokey Robinson/Berry Gordy (Shop Around)
Lyrics
Dont Throw Your Love Away C 1963- Billy Jackson and Jimmy Wisner Dont throw your love away, no, no, no, no Dont throw your love away, cause you may need it someday Dont throw your love away, no, no, no, no Dont throw your love away, for you may need them someday Lovers of today, just throw their dream away and play at love, They give their dreams away, to anyone who says, I love You Dont throw your love away, no, no, no, no Dont throw your love away, cause you may need it someday Lovers of today, just throw their dream away and play at love, They give their dreams away, to anyone who says, I love You Go out and have your fun, better have your fun with anyone, but dont throw your love away Dont throw your love away, no, no, no, no Dont throw your love away, for you may need them someday Shop Around C 1960- Smokey Robinson/Berry Gordy Just because youve become a young man now, theres still some things that you dont understand now, before you ask some girl for her hand now, keep your freedom for as long as you can now my Mama told meyou better shop around., woah yeah, you better shop around. Try to get yourself a bargain son, dont be sold on the very first one, Pretty girls come a dime for a dozen, try to find one whos gonna give you good lovin

Just listened to original. You put some more grit to it which I like. After hearing original Only thing I might consider bringing your harmonies just up a tad. They are very prominent on original. My two cents. Lol. Again very good

Very original idea. Im not familiar with this searchers song but you have done a very good job. And merging smoky with this is brilliant. Very good. P.s. thanks for l&c on here there and everywhere. I need to do some originals myself. Golf really zapping my time. Lol

I've been looking forward to hearing your home made guitar! Sounds great! Fascinating the way you've merged these two songs, I would never have been able to come up with something like this. 2 great classics re-imagined...clever concept!
