Major Snagg is the invented name of the 'band' that perform all my own musical creations. (songs and instrumentals). I play guitars, bass, rudimentary keyboards, harmonica, and sing. Melody has always been important to me... lyrics and guitar solos have to say or communicate something. I create musical worlds that I hope that you dear listener, will also want to explore and live in for a few moments...or longer if you feel that way inclined.

Lyrics

The Golden Ladder   (David A Briggs)  (c)  2026

intro: 

We were coming down, from high up in the sky
Another crimson morning, to watch this world go by  
Some dreams last will forever, but some just fade-away.
 disappearing like snow-flakes, “well, that’s life, is all they say 

         but I feel there’s something more, 
         but it’s just out of reach.
         we’ve got a lot to learn, 
         and life’s got a lot to teach.

we thought our ladder, would reach up to the sky.
but we found out far too late, that some dreams just pass you by.
“all the world’s a stage, they say, we’re performers with lines to learn.
we all have our chance to play, we just have to wait our turn.

        but I feel there’s something more,
        but it’s just out of reach.
        we’ve got a lot to learn,
        and life’s got a lot to teach.
  
      guitar solo:     

        but I feel there’s something more,
        but it’s just out of reach.
        we’ve got a lot to learn,
        and life’s got a lot to teach.
 
    Intro: 

we just glimpsed a fleeting shadow, the shadow of the moon,
messengers from the men in suits, the harbingers of doom.
our heads, they’re still spinning, spinning round and round.
we climbed the golden ladder and were pushed, right back down.
