The Seeking & Finding of Good Reasons to be Making Music
the guitar is older, like me
My
guitar is kind of old and scarred now. There's a band-aid covering a bad
scratch (a little boy's idea so many years ago). Joe put a good, deep gouge
in one spot in college. It reminds me of my old friend and those good times. The
finish has disappeared off the back of the neck and belt buckles have ravaged
the back. It plays just the way I like. It sounds better than ever. That's
it's purpose.
I've decided my purpose is to be someone who sings for people;
sing the songs that live deep in our hearts. Really, it's been nothing like
I thought it would be.
