In a sweet tribute to the loss of a friend, Matt Eckstine has another sorrowful story for you on this one. His catalogue is full of good solid Americana stories.
This song is about someone or something that you can rely on being there for you. I began writing this song about a Savannah musician Walter Harris who had recently passed away. The song is mainly about my time living downtown in Savannah and reminiscing my usual haunts from those days. I used the “old guitar” as a metaphor for a friend, Walter, and the city of Savannah. — Matt Eckstine
