    River 
    City, 
    Iowa. 

    River City, 
    Iowa? 

    What are you talking 
    City, Iowa. 

    City, Iowa. 

    Where in 
    the year 1912, 

    things were 
    at a terrible 

    come 
    to pass. 

    Some kook 
    had 
    got out and burned 

    about 
    half of 
    the town down 
    prior to 
    this, 

    an
    d the people 
    were sleeping in 

    shoe boxes 

    and packing 
    crates, 

    and they were uptight 
    and salty 
    indeed. 

    The 
    whole populace, 

    as a matter 
    of fact. 

    And then some 
    other nut 
    come dragging 

    a 
    pool table 
    down 
    the street, 

    and this 
    didn't 
    better their 

    ailment 
    any. 

    It certainly 
    didn't. 
    Even in the 
    year 1912, 


    people surely 
    must 
    have had more 
    than their 
    share of 
    trouble, 

    trouble, 
    trouble, 
    trouble, trouble, 

    Trouble, trouble, 
    trouble, 
    trouble, trouble, 

    trouble, trouble, 
    trouble, 
    trouble, 
    trouble. 

    Hold 
    it right 
    there friend. 

    What's the 
    matter? 

    Either 
    you're closing 
    your eyes 

    to a situation 
    you 
    do not wish 

    to acknowledge. 

    Or 
    you 
    are unaware 
    of the 

    caliber of 
    disaster 

    indicated 
    by the 
    presence of 
    a 
    pool 
    table 

    in 
    your community. 

    A what? 
    A 
    pool 
    table, 

    don't you understand? 

    Just 
    cause 
    it's modern 
    times, 

    just 
    because it's 
    1912. 

    Yeah, 
    yeah. 

    Don't give 
    our 
    kids the 
    right to walk 

    down the 
    road of life 

    using 
    a 
    pool 
    cue 
    for a 
    crutch. 

    I 
    say 
    any 
    boob 
    can 
    take 

    and 
    shove 
    a ball 
    in 
    a pocket, 

    and 
    they 
    call that 
    slop. 

    First 
    real steps 
    on 
    the road 

    to 
    the depths 
    of 
    datvida
    tion. 

    First 
    it's a 
    little armadillo 

    and 
    a wine 
    from 
    a teaspoon, 
    you see. 

    Then 
    beer 
    from a 
    bottle. 

    And before 
    you 
    know it, 

    your 
    son will 
    be playing 
    pool 
    money 

    in 
    a pinchback 
    suit. 

    Listening 
    to 
    something 
    out 
    of 
    town, 
    Jasper, 

    he'll 
    tell 
    about a 
    horse 
    race 
    gamble. 

    Not 
    a wholesome 
    trotting 
    race, 
    no, 

    but 
    the kind 
    where the 
    jockey 
    sit

    s right 
    down 
    on 
    the 
    horse. 

    I'd 
    like 
    to see 
    some 
    stuck 
    up 
    jockey 
    boy 

    sit
    ting 
    on 
    Dan 
    Patch. 

    Make 
    your blood 
    boil? 

    Oh, 
    I 
    should say. 
    Oh, 
    yeah? 

    Now, 
    friends, let 
    me tell 
    you what 
    I mean. 

    You 
    got 
    one, 
    two, 
    three, 
    four, 
    five, 

    six 
    pockets 
    in 
    the table. 

    pockets 
    mark 
    the 
    difference 

    between 
    a 
    gentleman 
    and 
    a 
    bum. 

    And that's 
    spelled 
    with 
    a B, 

    and that 
    rhymes 
    with 
    P, 

    and that 
    stands 
    for 
    POO. 

    We 
    got trouble 
    right 
    here 
    in River 
    City 

    with 
    a 
    capital 
    T, 

    and that

    with 
    P, 

    and that 
    stands 
    for 
    POO.

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      "

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      "

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
