So if he went out there spontaneously and just showed up The chances of that guitar being there for him to play would be about maybe 3% if you're lucky! So did keep bring his own personal guitar and was planning this whole thing to begin with? If so, I didn't know he was going to Ukraine for an open jam!

    who will die for this fool.
    Never get to fall in love,
    never get to be cool.

    Very sad this kind of disconnected imaging comes out today as there is real tragedy in Ukraine. This is not a game or a time to self-promote. He is there on business paid for by taxpayers....and there is real work to be done not playtime pretend.
