    I can't remember when or how I first heard this, it was half over before it caught my attention
    But it was a long time before I heard it again.

    "if you fog the mind
    you stir the soul."




    Yeah, I can see it now
    The distant red neon shivered in the heat
    I was feeling like a stranger in a strange land
    You know, where people play games with the night
    God, it was too hot to sleep
    I followed the sound of a jukebox coming from up the levee
    All of a sudden, I could hear somebody whistling from right behind me
    I turned around, and she said
    "Why do you always end up down at Nick's Cafe?"
    I said, "Uh, I don't know, the wind just kinda pushed me this way"
    She said, "Hang the rich"
    Catch the blue train
    Places never been before
    Look for me
    Somewhere down the crazy river
    (Somewhere down the crazy river)
    Ooh, catch the blue train
    All the way to Kokomo
    You can find me
    Somewhere down the crazy river
    (Somewhere down the crazy river)
    Take a picture of this
    The fields are empty, abandoned '59 Chevy
    Laying in the back seat listening to Little Willie John
    Yeah, that's when time stood still
    You know, I think I'm gonna go down to Madam X
    And let her read my mind
    She said, "That voodoo stuff don't do nothing for me"
    I'm a man with a clear destination
    I'm a man with a broad imagination
    You fog the mind, you stir the soul
    I can't find no control
    Ooh
    Catch the blue train
    Places never been before
    Look for me
    Somewhere down the crazy river
    (Somewhere down the crazy river)
    Ooh, catch the blue train
    All the way to Kokomo
    You can find me
    Somewhere down the crazy river
    (Somewhere down the crazy river)
    Wait, did you hear that?
    Oh, this is sure stirring up some ghosts for me
    She said, "There's one thing you gotta learn
    Is not to be afraid of it"
    I said, "No, I like it, I like it, it's good"
    She said, "You like it now
    But you'll learn to love it later"
    I been spellbound
    Falling in trances
    I been spellbound
    Falling in trances
    You give me the shivers
    Chills and fever
    You give me the shivers
    You give me the shivers
    I been spellbound
    I been spellbound
    I been spellbound
    (Somewhere down the crazy river)
    Somewhere down the crazy river

    His songs often carry amazing depth of feeling
    None more so than this one.

    It robs me of words and leaves me to weep
    High art indeed.

    Paul Reed Smith is a fine musician, and a fine businessman. He has found the right formula. When Carlos Santana plays only the guitars you make, you've done something right.

    It also doesn't hurt to have been mentored in the guitar business by Ted McCarty, who was CEO of Gibson when they created the Les Paul and other legendary guitars.

    Rick pronounces "D'addario" correctly. YAY!!! You mean it's NOT "Dee-Adairio?" This has bugged me for years. Every time I correct someone's pronunciation of D'addario they look at me totally mystified. Ignorant savages, they are everywhere.

    Sorry, very small potatoes.
    "When your lawyer is Satan," double LOL. Great video, thank you very much for finding this one.

    How can one not admire those who armed them who go fourth in music.
    A drummer can play on just about anything. But Guitarist Needs a guitar., however many necks, strings, pick ups or shapes.

    His/her hands are empty until they find one that was crafted just for them, even if their are 10,000, at lest one is just for them.
    When they find one they just go all musical on us.
    Thank the lord of all for those to whom he gave music to share
    as they see fit.":O}
