Liner Notes

#4track

I'm just goofing off to catch up. I'm actually selling a Reverend Sensei 290 guitar today and this is the last song ever written on it. I think it may even be the first song ever written on it, actually. I've had it about ten years. Barely used, except for one show where it took a dive onstage, resulting in some character chips that reduced the value of the instrument a bit.

Recorded on my Zoom R4 using the Reverend Sensei 290, a Squier Jazz bass loaned to me by @roblyon5150, and a 20 year old Yamaha PSR-170 on the "Hot Organ" setting (allegedly it's the toy that John Legend used to learn piano!). It was gifted to me a week ago, when I spared it from a fate in a dumpster.

Lyrics

You know, I got a message on Marketplace
from a guy named John
I wonder if that's his real name
but my guitar is gone
if I'll take 300 cash
even though I'm asking four
Well, I kinda need the money
and I don't play it anymore

This is the last song I'll ever write
on this old guitar
I could've gotten more for it
if not for the battle scars

Well, You know, it's mostly been in the closet
I never took it on the road
Played "Chinese Rocks" on it a couple of times
but it only played one show.
Damn...
