home play saws
After I saw Jimmy [Hendrix] play, I just went home and wondered what the f*** I was going to do with my life.
rocks long missing
I've never stuck around long enough to know if anyone would miss me. That's rock 'n' roll, though. Here today, gone tomorrow.
music guitar woods
That old funny-shaped bit of wood is still staring me in the face every day saying 'come on, you haven't started yet!' It's infinite.
sometimes organize turns
Things turn out better by accident sometimes. But you can't organize accidents.

connect guitar instrument major night respond sort unknowns
I know it's going to respond the way I want it to night after night. When I go into a venue, there are a lot of unknowns ... the acoustics, how well I'll connect with the audience, that sort of thing. So, having an instrument now that is all I could ever want in a guitar is a major plus.

I know I have to do my job for us to win,
hurt impression
I have the impression that someone wanted to hurt me intentionally.
