I shoulda learned to play the guitar.

Every guitar I own gets used and has its purpose.

Sometimes you gotta be an s.o.b., you wanna make a dream reality

The music you make is shaped by what you play it on ... if you feel that you're not getting enough out of a song, change the instrument - go from an acoustic to an electric or vice versa, or try an open tuning ... do something to shake it up.

While listening, to things like western swing, for instance, I'd work something out in my head, then play it on my National; not the same song, but one that captured the feeling of the original tune.

There's so many different worlds, so many different suns. And we have just one world, but we live in different ones.

I even played bass for a while. Besides playing electric guitar, I'd also get asked to play some acoustic stuff. But, since I didn't have an acoustic guitar at the time, I used to borrow one from a friend so I could play folk joints.
