Now I Need To Take A Piece Of Wood And Make It Sound Like The Railroad Track, But I Also Had To Make It Beautiful And Lovable So That A Person Playing It Would Think Of It In Terms Of His Mistress, A Bartender, His Wife, A Good Psychiatrist - Whatever.

This Guitar Is Such A Pal. It's A Psychiatrist. It's A Doggone Bartender. It's A Housewife. This Guy Is Everything. Whenever I Find That I've Got A Problem, I'll Go Pick My Guitar Up And Play. It's The Greatest Pal In The Whole World.
