I have found that a new toy (for me, usually another guitar or amp),
even borrowed for a few minutes, has some sort of voodoo.  Don't know
what it is; last band I was in, I hadn't really been able to write
anything worth hearing in a while.

Friend of mine that we sare the rehersal space with was in the space
that night and let me goof around with his Tom Anderson Hollow-T. 
Thought it sounded like a Cheerios box with a broom handle, but I wrote
yet another pop jem before I gave him the guitar back.

Neil Young (I think) said once that he likes old guitars, because they
have a lot of songs in them.  I don't know if it is something like Dumbo
and his magic feather (the ordinary feather that he attributed to his
inborn ability to fly).  It must be....

Sure doesn't feel that way, though.
