Texas Songster

I have none, I have none.

I, I was eight when I got my first guitar, and, and it was because of a record in my dad's collection, a Mance Lipscomb record called, uh, Texas Songster, and I loved it so much, and I listened to it all the time And my, my, my, my mom and dad got me a guitar.

My dad was more behind that than anything, and I just sat in front of the speakers and tried to make sounds like Mance made.

Mm-hmm.

You know, 'cause I was, I wasn't...

You know, I didn't get into instrumental music till much later.

And, and listening to, like, Mance and Lightnin', tho- both those records, Blues In The Bottle and, and Texas Songster, they're lyric-heavy records.

Lyrics are really important.
