I was working on another continent, lonely as it gets and young, think I was nineteen, in a job I really struggled with. And I was homesick and pining. But I stuck it and every week I took home my slip. I was saving to buy a car and drive around and see the sights, coast to coast. And I did it for a few months and had about enough for a solid runner, a VW Rabbit I&#8217;d seen in a garage that was being prepped for sale. Then one night this spooked-looking guy knocked on the door of the apartment I was renting, he was a friend of my landlord. And this twitchy guy said he had debts, bad debts, and he&#8217;d heard I was a guitarist from the landlord and he wondered if I wanted to buy his guitar. He needed the money right then. And he fetched the case in and I played his guitar for maybe ten minutes and that was it, I was all in, I bought the guitar with every bit of my savings. So no road movie for me then, the guitar had other plans for me. I came home, joined a band and moved to London. And all those curves and blaring halls, meetings and driftings, all from the knock on my door.
