New Music for @dsound and @steemit - 'Fifteen Thousand' - by @darrenclaxton
He was holding a black rubbish bag, randomly walking around inside the shop where you pay for your fuel.
Me being a guitar nut and total gear slut, spots this bag which has the head stock of a famous brand of guitar visible.
It was a Gibson L-5!
Me and my little sister
Her neighbours later joined us at the table where we had comfortably set up our base for drinks, and some standard sibling banter. We got talking and I told this story of the old guy that I'd met previously that afternoon whilst at the petrol station. The neighbours smiled at me and casually said 'Oh you mean Bob' He's a retired musician that moved here 20 years ago from the states, he played with some big names in the 60's and 70s, he's an eccentric old fella but harmless. Apparently, the story he told me was possibly true. I kicked myself all the way home that evening and later penned and recorded Fifteen Thousand, because, I remember old Bob saying 'This guitar cost me $15000! You know what, I never saw him again and I bet that guitar is worth 10 times if not 20 times that much now!
As I looked out of my window where does he come from do I know him Once I met him buying petrol Invited me over to see his collection Then some neighbours told me that he Once I met him buying petrol Thanks for reading my story and inspiration behind this track. Darren Claxton is a Songwriter, Musician and Producer of his own music, from Derbyshire UK. The music he writes is often heartfelt acoustic indie folk with a sprinkling of rock and country influences, with an occasional world music flavour as heard on his track ‘Dragonfly’ . But most of all, it's his passive emotive thoughts and feelings that are delivered through that soothing vocal, and intricate guitar playing of his. Join SteemThat!!
at the passer by
scruffy coat and eyes like marbles
he had a windswept sigh
does he have a home
drives a Bentley and eats at restaurants
always sits alone
carrying this guitar
said it cost him fifteen thousand
I just knew he was wrong
knew he was wrong,
knew he was wrong
knew he was wrong
I knew he was wrong
knew he was wrong
I knew he was wrong
of electric guitars
I didn't make but I wish I knew that
he was a superstar
escaped to try and be free
to get away from the fame and the fortune
to live in privacy
carrying this guitar
said it cost him fifteen thousand
I just knew he was wrong
knew he was wrong,
knew he was wrong
knew he was wrong
I knew he was wrong
knew he was wrong
I knew he was wrong
