[ cf "B13" "Someone's in the Kitchen", etc ] *Sultans of Swing: Dire Straits [ "they say an old guitar is all he can afford..." ], included b/c it's also a neato acoustically done cover by Agents of Good Roots *Farthest Shore: David Wilcox [ "After the blaze burned our cabin down to ashes Where we'd slept warm, now the sky lets in the rain I found the strings, frets and rusted latches But I will never hear that old guitar again These four walls are only in my memory Where these stone steps rise to nothing in the air So one last look and I'm headed for the river To wash my hands and try to say this prayer"] and EFO if you're listening... This would be a great Wilcox cover... Hint hint for the Davidson show... :-D Cool thread... Any other good 'uns?
