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
This is my new recording of a song I played whilst in a Pop/Rock band called Dolce Vita (1980/82). Eddie Lockwood, the rhythm guitarist in the band, wrote this with Kenny Rooke, the bass player in the same band. We all had an input into the original arrangement. We must have played it dozens of times as a band, and it's still one of my favourites from the Dolce Vita years. This however, is my new 'interpretation' of the song. Perhaps this is how it would sound if we got together and played as a band again. ?
Lyrics
"I was looking for" (Edward J Lockwood/ kenny Rooke) I've been around the world, and it's all been in vain. I keep on looking and I'm, hoping to find her, could it be the wrong time, could it be the wrong place, and I . . . . was looking for. and I . . . . was looking for. It's been several years, since I've seen her smile. if only I could just see her, for a little while, I don't want to give up, is it just my bad luck, and I . . . . was looking for. and I . . . . was looking for. where do I go, what do I do, how will I know, when I've found her, when I've found her . . . . melodic guitar solo ! and I . . . . was looking for. and I . . . . was looking for. And only time will tell me, if I am right, if it takes me all my life, I'll carry on in spite, Am I on the right track, do I have to turn back. and I . . . . was looking for. and I . . . . was looking for. flashy blues/rock guitar solo ! ha ha Great song Eddie & Kenny . . . David

I like the lyrics to this one. Well performed vocal gives it a sincere feel that only an honest performance can capture. Again makes me think of XTC at times. Blood love hearing anyone who sounds like them them.. Great guitar solos too. I wish I could play guitar like that! Great sh** mate!

AWRIGHT!!! Love that classic sound you seemingly have the mastery over. Shades of Taking Tiger Mountain by Stategy by ENO. (sorry about the comparison, but every song out there has comparisons) Lovely licks!!!
