Tim and I really appreciate Zeek adding some great guitar track to this. THANKS ZEEK!

This is a song a friend of mine, Tim Tovar, wrote. It is based on a friend of his (Howard) that bought a Fender guitar when he was 27 for about $300. He made $150.00 per month back then so it was VERY expensive. It's a 1958 Fender with a 3 tone starburst and a maple inlay neck. He has kept the guitar and the original amp that came with it and is very rare too.

My understanding is that the guitar was worth $60,000.00 at one time. With the economy it's probably come down just a bit. The picture on the soundclick link is Howard when he was younger and that IS the guitar he is playing. He is in his 80's today.

Tim came over and played the song and also sang the lead vocals. It was so good that I just had to put a full production to it. I had another friend, Beau Batts, lay down the bass track and I did the rest.

Hope you enjoy!

THIS GUITAR STILL KNOWS A MELODY OR TWO
STILL FINDS THE HARMONY WHEN I AM BLUE
CAN MAKE ME CRY

THIS GUITAR REMEMBERS BACK WHEN I WAS YOUNG
WINE AND SONG AND TOO MUCH FUN
NEVER ASKING WHY

THIS GUITAR HELPED ME THROUGH THE DARK OF NIGHT
TILL THE PROMISED MORNING LIGHT
AND THE FIRST SPRING RAIN

THIS GUITAR FAITHFULLY JUST CLOSED HER EYES
KEPT PERFECT TIME AS LIFE ROLLED BY
HELPED MY EASE MY PAIN

CHORUS
THIS GUITAR HAS THE SHOULDERS OF A LONG LOST FRIEND
SEE'S MY TEARS AND HELPS ME SMILE AGAIN
SAYS I'M NOT ALONE
THIS GUITAR LIKE A LOVER ON A STORMY NIGHT
WHISPERS EVERYTHING WILL BE ALRIGHT
BABY COME ON HOME


THIS GUITAR IS NOT THE SAME AS IT WAS NEW
IT'S SOUND IS CLEAR AND IT'S VOICE IS TRUE
I KNEW IT FROM THE START

THIS GUITAR TAKES ME BACK TO A TIME OF EASE
BACK TO THE MUSIC OF MY MEMORIES
THE MUSIC OF MY HEART

CHORUS
