Liner Notes

#threestringguitar #soloacoustic #surrealadelica

Done on an old classical guitar with three strings missing. (I like the sound. Plus, it's easier to play!)

Lyrics

I. Jai tried to identify an atom but it was too tiny Jai tried to ride the sun but it burnt his hiney

II. Matt wore the moon as a hat but it hurt his back cos it was cold and so heavy that it gave him brainfreeze

III. At the corner one night Sy put a light bulb in his mouth and stood upright cos Sy tried to be a streetlight

IV. Bah bah da bah da da bah

depends which 3 strings! I think i may have seen Sy. Your imagination has no bounds - cool music to support it!

This is great. I love your gritty vocal. Chords are cool. And now I have to go because I need to take some strings off the guitar I can't play (because I don't have 6 fingers).

You know i love your three string tunes! Your lyrics made me smile! Very, very nice! Enjoyed!

Part of the reason I chose to learn ukulele and more recently mountain dulcimer rather than guitar was because I figured four or three strings (respectively) are easier to learn than six!

Anyway, this has the gorgeous, shimmering dreamlike logic and feel that I often hear in your songs, and as usual, it's positively transporting into its unique world of surrealistic delights. The gentle sound of the three-string is perfect to lull the listener into this deeply imaginative and impressionistic, and at times a little bit disturbing, plane of existence.
