Thanks to my friend DeeJay for pointing this out to me - it was on a BBC2 show. An excellent summary of alcoholism I changed because I have the sickness of alcoholism, alcoholism doesn't come in bottles it comes in people. You should have seen me. I drank for happiness and became unhappy; I drank for joy and became miserable. I drank to be out-going and became self-centred; I drank for sociability and became argumentative and lonely; I drank for sophistication and became crude and obnoxious. I drank for friendship and made enemies, I drank to soften sorrow and wallowed in self-pity; I drank for sleep and awakened without rest. I drank for strength and felt weak. I drank for masculinity and it sapped my potency; I drank medicinally and got sick. I drank because I thought my job called for it and lost my job. I drank to stimulate thought and blacked out. I drank to make conversation and got to where I couldn't talk at all; I drank to forget and became haunted. I drank for freedom...
You are a craftsman, sir. No vid of you playing it? Hope you've been well and are enjoying your summer.
ReplyDeleteNo but the last stills sequence is the guitar being noodled on by yours truly. All music on the videos are again yours truly
DeleteWhat a beautiful guitar, Graham. I watched all the videos and was mesmerised by how six strings and a plank of wood matured into the unique instrument you ended up with.
