[B] This uh this guitar was made in 1910 it belongs to my grandmother.
It's the guitar that she played when she was a little girl.
And she gave it to me when I was about 12 years old and it's the guitar that I learned how to play on.
for a large part of my life I.
Think I had this guitar with me everywhere that I went I.
Carried it on the farm back in Oklahoma and on wheat harvest.
I got hit over the head with it once in a lumber camp up in Washington State.
This crack right along here if you can see it a fella was not a Hank Williams fan at all Anyway about .
Little over five years ago.
I I lost the guitar and it was was kind of a sad occasion to me and the strange thing is that.
Just about the time that it got to be okay with me that I had lost it.
I.
found it again and.
This was last January when we were filming our last television special and I was [F] I.
Can't really tell you how thrilled I was about getting it back.
I I literally I couldn't wait to get back to the hotel where I was staying at here in Los Angeles and just.
