about

The TRUE story of the first electric guitar and the man who rocked Wichita!

lyrics

Gage was born in Gage
A guitar in his hand
Then he and his guitar became the leaders of the band

They could not hear him play
From OK to L.A.
His guitar friend George Beauchamp took the case and found a way

Laid it all out on his table
Put a magnet by the strings
Then strummed the steel vibrations and he listened to it ring

He boasted in the Beacon
When he got to Wichita
Gage knew that that majestic sound would leave them all in awe

When he plugged in that guitar
He held perfection in his hand
Gage Brewer went electric
On the stage of Shadowland
Went one and all on Halloween
To witness on the stand
Gage Brewer went electric
On the stage of Shadowland

In 1932
Gage made a dream come true
His Spanish acquisition made its national debut

When he plugged in that guitar
He held perfection in his hand
Gage Brewer went electric
On the stage of Shadowland
Went one and all on Halloween
To witness on the stand
Gage Brewer went electric
On the stage of Shadowland
