I’m sitting here strumming away. The vibrations echoing out into the world. I add some voice with words. This is what I do. It’s not who I am. And, it doesn’t amount to a hill of beans. But, I do it ‘cause I’ve been doing it a long time. Sometimes...

Shut up, will ya’? I’m talking to my guitar again. Dude is always wanting me to play. I did my time, ya know? 45 years earns me the right to play when I want to play and this morning, I just want a nice up of joe and to listen to the surf. Chair’s...
