Straight Path To

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.
