Icarus skywriting # 48


New Guitar
Getting a new guitar is a wondrous thing especially when it has a new hat to wear too. An Ozark guitar and an Oklahoma hat, it reads like a poem.

An Ozark guitar
an Oklahoma hat
and a new orange jumper
how could any of these bring out the best of the blues?

And yesterday I wrote a new chorus on my new guitar that went something like:

I dream like a stranger
who doesn't know where he is going
or where he's been

But you know songs - it could mean anything at all when you are playing a new Ozark Guitar, wearing an Oklahoma hat,  a bright new orange jumper and singing the best of the blues when the sun is shining in your heart because your baby is home from the USA - but many a good tune is played on an old guitar, this is a great version of a great Hank Williams song - but it ain't about me.
