[Tim Carlson]

here's a line..

I get paid well,
but not well enough.
S'pose I should be glad,
no one knows this stuff.

maybe not. it sounded better in my head...as do most of my ideas.

[Tim Carlson]

Wow. that line was a threadkiller! DON'T USE IT!!! I can't imagine what it'd do to an audience!

I got my first Steel when I was three learned to play it from my Daddy’s knee

Didn't know much. But I knew I loved that sound.

Wore out my bar by the time I was six, along the way I picked up some licks.

But I still knew I hadn't found that good ol sound.

So I listened to Bob, and Ernest and Hank. I guess I got them fellers to thank.

I was the most twangy swingin youngster ever around!
