There Must Be Another song

My favourite guitar is my 1954 Martin 00-18, and I play it on this song. It’s the one I mostly go to when I’m writing and it has given me many songs. Sometimes when composing it seems it’s really the guitar that’s doing all the creative work. A good friend of mine cared for and repaired this guitar for me for many years. I had him over to dinner one night and he talked about his life in music and the people he had crossed paths with, worked for, or played with over the years (including Lenny Breau and Gordon Lightfoot.). When he left around midnight I sat down to write a song based on what he had told me, but as I started, the song seemed to want to write itself and suddenly I realized it wasn’t about him at all anymore but this “other” story came out. Since he had been the original inspiration for the song, I wanted him to be the first to hear it anyway and sent a rough recording to him the next morning. He sent me a message back …asking how I could have known that story. - Lennie
