Friends from The Singles by The Hultins with Bill Salmon

Resting in their cases
sleeping silently thru the night
The blue, orange, and red velvet
holding the lacquered wood in tight
Some on stands some on hooks
Displayed on the studio wall
With 4, 6, 8 and 12 strings
Awaiting the artists’ call

Friends in need, friends indeed
In good times and in bad
The straps, the strings, the chord that rings
The best friend you ever had

Craving 60’s pop? Give Ricky a shot
The tremolo sounding so sweet
Some Nashville twang? Then Tele is your man
Twin Reverb makes the sound complete
A ballad like hank? There’s Martin to thank
For the high and lonesome wail
The guild 12 string made with angel’s wings
The tumbleweeds on the dusty trail

Guitars are made from living, breathing things
Wood carries the spirits hidden inside
a bridge, some tuners, frets to divide
The magic comes when fingers are applied
When Kentucky calls,
An A frame fills the need
Doghouse Bass, some bourbon whiskey
Timeless Bluegrass spirits are freed
Everyone gets a chance
The Musial circle moves along
Fountain Pen meets paper
And releases the power of a brand-new song.
