Location: sitting at my computer | Need is a relative thing these days It borders on desire The high tech world is full of bright shiny things We think that we really require Sometimes more than others You see who and what and where you are I'm a one-man band with no immediate plans Tonight I just need my guitar |

Location: Chicago | I was driving across the burning desert
When I spotted six jet planes
Leaving six white vapor trails across the bleak terrain
It was the hexagram of the heavens
it was the strings of my guitar
Amelia... it was just a false alarm

Location: NW Montucky | All songs from my teen years.....
I got my first real 6 string
Bought it at the 5 and dime
Played it 'til my fingers bled
It was the summer of '69
This one I believe used an Ovation 12 string for the opening
And I walk these streets
A loaded 6 string on my back
I play for keeps
'Cause I might not make it back
I've been everywhere
still I'm standing tall
I've seen a million faces
And I've rocked them all
just a single line from this one...it always stuck out to me amidst the rest of the song for some reason
There's blood on my hand, and my Les Paul's beat...

Cracklin' Rose, you're a store bought woman
But you make me sing like a guitar hummin'
So hang on to me, girl
Our song keeps runnin' on |

Location: Chicago | "Ripple" lyrics by Robert Hunter; music by Jerry Garcia. A favorite, mysterious Dead tune:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CFsbAuX9P4w
If my words did glow with the gold of sunshine
And my tunes were played on the harp [guitar?] unstrung
Would you hear my voice come through the music
Would you hold it near as it were your own?
It's a hand-me-down, the thoughts are broken
Perhaps they're better left unsung
I don't know, don't really care
Let there be songs to fill the air |

Location: Always beautiful canyon country of Utah | And for us oldies who learned to play in the 60's there's nothing wrong with John Denver's "This Old Guitar". "It taught me how to laugh and how to cry" among other lyrics. |

Location: sitting at my computer | Well I found her in a pawnshop somewhere up in Ohio. Where I guess some rounder came up short and had to let her go. Cost me ninety dollars, but she's worth much more by far, 'cause I've never had a better friend than that old beat-up guitar. Didn't look like too much. Just a Roy Smeck Stage Deluxe. And a lady never faired as well, who'd traveled through so much. That Old Beat-up Guitar -- Jerry Jeff Walker
