Here in New Zealand we have more University graduates then we need and not enough skilled people in the building trades. Your words Jeff I think would resonate with many  down here in NZ.

SHALOM  TO ALL MY CHORDIE FRIENDS.
Neo whats wrong with you,  apologising for what ????
I am angry reading this but honestly  looking for an answer and I am not trying to be a Schmuck or an obnoxious person.
We have the French Horn is calling it a French offensive.????It almost sounds like some people are saying to call an instrument a Jews Harp is  anti-Semitic.        Music shops here call them Jews Harp and I haven’t noticed any offence taken by my many Jewish friends.
Classical Guitar I am thinking the way to combat the perception of the name "Jew's harp" as a slur in your country is not to try to change the language, but to improve the image of the instrument. You  could  do that by treating the Jew's harp as a legitimate musical instrument and encouraging others to do the same." 
If I am wrong so are the music shops that sell these items.

Thank you Easy Beat and Neo  for taking time to comment on and read my piece.This year's world air guitar title was won by a Japanese lady ,  Nanami Nagura. I see females are now taking up guitar more then they use to. I wonder if  many people play air piano??
Jim I guess if Sigmund Freud was around today, instead of writing my piece, he would have presented an intellectual  university paper on the male gender  describing  the energy created by the life instincts and DNA of the male prone to playing air guitar and it's effect on the human female.     When I hear people say they have made "a Freudian slip" I always think Freudian Slip would be a good name for a boat ramp. I guess that shows that I really am weird. 
Phill you are right kids are a great source of inspiration. I can imagine there are people out there who could tell some interesting stories about blow up guitars.
Classical Guitar there are some brilliant lady guitar players out there in all genres but I think there is still a need for more to strut their stuff. I am starting to realise that maybe the Kid is  right not many girls are prone to playing air guitar. I had alot of funny ideas come into my head following his question.

Excellent lyrics good to hear you doing this song in your Bob Dylan way. I love the way many people perform  your songs, like Phill and Jan  who do it  by delving into your lyrics and rewriting their essence through performance.
