4 string Tamjotar.written by Jesse Fuller 1955Dedicated to BubblesIn a Old Hotel room in the middle of DowntownSan Francisco it's late evening Through theopen window the sounds and smell of thecity roll in.A silhouette of a lone buskerplays an electric guitar through a batterypowered amp on the quiet street below. Heplays Jimi and Stevie songs with more soulthen they, but no money lies in his hat.In the room they talk and life had changed,He went knowing to well he would be injured,but he had to go. He lays a piece of hisheart on the floor and walks out the doordown the elevator and on to the city streets.He walks the streets until the bars close, numb lost and hopeless.He returns to the room and takes the bed nearthe window. Longing hoping praying.This song always reminds me of that night.L.Y.F.Happy Mother Day Everyone
