Sir John,

A guitar in the music field sometimes will be called an axe. So just maybe this is what they are saying, but then again maybe not ? Just my 2 cents here...

Also Eric Clapton is a mean axe murderer, ie: very good guitar player ?

Or Charlene is an axe murderer, ie: she can't play the guitar very well ?

In concert in 1969 in Charlottetown PEI, Gordon introduces Me And Bobby McGee by saying Roger Miller murdered the song. Did Mr. Miller do a good job, or a bad job with the song ?
