I didn't own a "guitar of my own" until I was 18—a Yamaha something steel string. Up until then I just played borrowed: steel string, nylon string, banjos, mandos, bazoukis: they all made sense to me. By the time I was 19 I think I had four or five instruments of my own. Sadly, thos specimens have since all slipped through my fingers.   🥸 ♥ 3:36pm

That's the engineer having a stroke! 🥸 ♥ 3:46pm
Ellen:

↳ Jay Current @3:45

They say you're supposed to record all your idea when they happen lest you lose something gold. This is why I never record anything original at all. ♥ 3:47pm
Mr Fab:

↳ Hunterian @3:44

No joke.

It was written for the orig Steve McQueen film. (The Wolfman remade it) Hey, it was early in his career. It's called "paying your dues," people!

Ellen:

↳ JReganK @3:47

So this would be a bad time to mention that, on a dare basically, I wrote a song about how the Coyote basically thinks the Roadrunner is obsessed with him, and he's just showing off for her? In Spanish.   🥸 ♥ 3:49pm
Jay Current:

↳ Ellen @3:46

Chubby's writing secret was to keep a record of any sentences he used with the word "twist" in it for future reference.   3:49pm
