In the corner stands a guitar that plays only sad songs
Give me when a friend lost his wife
And this fine leather jacket came in a package
The day after he took his own life
In a bar down in Austin, he was drinkin' and boastin'
This ring…
Jimmy, this song reminds me, what great lyrics you can slip into your songs/albums! AND I had forgotten how much I like this song/album. Thanks for reminding me about it. JQ
I am just going to paste what I posted about this song on fb here.--- OK wow it is enough that I never get chills from music I am listening to the first time.. because I don't know the song.. ---- minute two or two and a half chills ran up and down my spine. and again-- at minute 5:25 this is really stand alone work of greatness.=== wow.
I was in Spain, in the Pyrenees, working on THE STONE RAFT. I was the only American, read, "English speaker." I was feeling very alone.

Yesterday afternoon, I received my copy of... The Stone Raft, the English translation of a novel by Portuguese writer José Saramago, who won the Nobel Peace Prize in Literature in 1998. A Spanish-language film based on the book, La Balsa de Piedra, was released in 2002 by George Sluizer; see JMT intro above. This is a great JMT song... the lyrics of this song, represent well, the true genius JMT has with words! What absolutely great lyrics!
Draft arrangement of a favorite song.
Wurlitzer, Moog Model D, Banjo and some Rodney advice.
Thanks to Almut, Mars, Floss for vocal chorus help and Markus for the beautiful scratchy baroque violin.

I don't wanna go
down to the end of the rainbow.
I could say what I wanted to say now.
I could play what I wanted to play now.
I could take what I wanted to take now.
Of all the above.

There's no need to fight in here.

Why do you want it so bad?
Very cool. Whatever you are doing I want to do too. The blending of voice/words/instruments. Almost subliminal! Very dreamy. The way we actually hear the voices around us or even ourselves.

CALIFORNIA
Capo @ 4 in C/Am
I’m (Am) going back to California
A little place in the San (E) Joaquin
(Am, stepping down A G F# F E)
Where the back pasture builds
To Sierra foothills
And Kaweah tumbles down cool and clean
I’m going back…
