Film Transcript

// step Action- Helo my name is Reg Muthering I'm here to talk about my story and how I started my music. I came, so they asked me to come in and walk down, and I said, can I, can you teach me how to play the guitar please. My first song was The Blows, and there were two animals in it. One was a mouse that got hit by a truck. Ouch. Next one was a hank. We went to the pet store and got ourselves a hamster, and he got a girlfriend called Daisy, and they went and had a hamster burger. // I can't pick it up, pick it up please. That was my first song done. Ah yeah. // // // // // // We went to the pet store and got ourselves a hamster. // His name was Arrow. // He was a standing Daisy. // And I went up to him. // // Got the end of her. Got her.
