When I first found the Doobie McDonald Signature Series Painted Guitar, I decided to take her to a guitar shop to see if she was salvageable. The owner said it would cost about $75 to fix it into getting any kind of decent tune. He had trouble understanding something "Why are you so concerned about it playing? Its a folk art piece. Hang it up on a wall. If someone wants a good guitar, they're not going to buy it from you, they'll come into my shop and get something like this," he said as he grabbed a nearby guitar, "...see?" Robert Blake happened to be sitting at the shop entrance table too, wearing a cowboy hat across from the owner and next to a quiet fella at the top of the square. "I would sand it all down. Sand off all this paint, and donate it," was his suggestion. I told him he was great in Lost Highway, that he was very creepy in it. We pondered the film and talked about David Lynch a little bit, then I left feeling like the under-est underdog ever dogged. This song blossomed from those seeds...BAY-beh!

  • You saved that guitar from a boring unpainted future.

  • YES! Those guys said she would never play! It was such a welcome fantasm, when the fella at Guitar Center said that all I needed was some strings! As soon as I put those puppies on, the whirled opened up like a galaxian supertrain...BAY-beh!
