Hi, Chazz, heres a link to the site's format for posting an edit. It leaves the original for comparison. 
Each time I read this I go sour on "beautiful black bastard".
Growing up we had a tall, young guy who played a toy guitar on the corner, where I live now we had Waving Willie, three towns mourned his death, his chair still sits by the road. So I think this is a piece everyone can relate to. I don't know what " black bastard" adds, even when qualified by beautiful.
Might be just me, I like the piece as a whole.
