joMusic: Dime Store Toy

I wrote this song for my Mom as a Christmas present in 2004. The previous year she bought me the Taylor guitar I played on this track. She asked me what I wanted for Christmas, and I jokingly said … oh … hmmm … how about this new $3,000.00 smokeburst Taylor C16-CE I’ve been drooling over. She said “… okay … Merry Christmas! I know what your original music means to you, and I’d rather be alive and see you enjoy it.” Now that’s a sentiment we both could live with. :)

The picture on the CD cover is me at around 5(?) years old. I love that everything is color coordinated … my overalls and shirt, the wallpaper, and the blue chair with the metallic silver threads. How cools is that! And young Pony Boy was getting ready to ride his rave fave rockin’ horse. Hell I was a steady rocker even then! ;)
