They grabbed her by the neck and squeezed
Their drunken fingers, made her pale.
They struck her chords until she wheezed,
They shook her up until she wailed.

Whole crowds rushed for her, enraged,
They shoved and pushed ahead, refusing
To wait their turn. I cried, off stage, -
I was too scared to face the music.

There's an implication of shame in this, or perhaps, I just inferred?

Either way, the emotion struck my strings.

Nicely done.

Gee, I have a vision of Jimmy Hendrix on stage, or even Les Paul   I hope you will come back to explain this one.
