I Often Enjoy Singing In An Acoustic

The First Guitar I Ever Had Was A Gut-string Spanish Guitar, And I Couldn't Really Get The Hang Of It. I Was Only 13, And I Talked My Grandparents Into Buying It For Me. I Tried And Tried And Tried, But Got Nowhere With It.

Very Much Like That, And Very Much A Loner, Do You Know And I Didn't Fit Really Into Sport Or All Kind Of Group Activities As A Kid, I Couldn't Find A Niche. And Music Was Not Really Part Of The Kind Of Village Curriculum It Would, You Know.

I Remember Hearing Sonny Terry And Brownie Mcghee, Big Bill Broonzy, Chuck Berry And Bo Diddley And Not Really Knowing Anything About The Geography Or The Culture Of The Music. But For Some Reason It Did Something To Me - It Resonated.

I Remember When I Thought Of Singing As The Bit That Went Between The Guitar Playing - Something I Couldn't Wait To Get Out Of The Way. Singing Was Originally Like A Chore That I Didn't Really Enjoy.

I Never Met Johnny Rotten, And I Didn't Want To Meet Johnny Rotten.
