Loc: Brookport IL. Hello everyone...my, my it has been a long time since I have posted anything and that is because I have been very busy revamping one track at a time and old song I wrote about 4 years ago...If anyone has the time I would like you to give it a listen and give me your thoughts on it....you can hear it at http://www.myspace.com/byronmathis where it will auto play or you can go to http://www.diskfaktoryjams.com/bands/173/music.php where it is the first song...it is called This Old Guitar is All I'll Ever Need and was done one track at a time in my home studio by yours truly...don't hold anything back about performance, lyrics recording quality or marketablility...I like it when you pick it apart and only like kudo's if you think I truly deserve them...

if i could play like old Chet Atkins
i'd move down to Nashville Tennessee
I'd show my stuff at Legends on the Corner
and then get a job at the Grand O'l Opry

ad lib

if I could sing like old Marty Robbins
I'd quit my job and move out to L.A.
I'd play in Hollywood and make sure they understood
that God made me what I am today

just an old country boy having a good time
singing and picking until my fingers bleed
I don't care about that money
I know that might seem funny
but this old guitar is all i'll ever need

modulate

if i could play like old Brent Mason
I'd be the envy of every picker around
but I aint got a thousand years to practice
so I had better be happy with my own sound

here i go
lead break

If I could sing like old Vince Gill
I'd be the top dog at the CMA
I'd tell all them star's
that ride in them long cars
That God made me what I am today

just an old country boy
having a good time
singing and whiching I could pick like Jerry Reed
I know this might seem funny
but I don't care about the money
cause this old guitar is all I'll ever need

yes this old Guitar is all I'll ever...ever Need

p.s. I know I use the word "old" too much and need some thoughts on how to change this
