Twenty, July 69, Houston is Calling Woodstock was coming soon Armstrong walking on the moon I was walking near and far Looking for my lost guitar On a hot Crete afternoon At small Greek farms and local bars I followed every lead I could People glued to their tv <strong>No</strong> one was expecting me They opened up and let me in This mangy, motely American I was Looking for my Martin guitar Friendly eyes, friendly vibes I met along the way For all the times that my country’s fallen short I was proud that day The first house a young family shared a bottle of Metaxa That moon walk space mans dignity Just seems to have rained down on me A drink or so, I let them know I took no credit for the glory I was just looking for my Martin Guitar At each house I was honored with Another bottle of Metaxa As I stumbled from door to door I forgot what I came there for In that hazy, happy towns embrace I took full credit for the trip in space I gave up on my Martin Guitar Friendly eyes, friendly vibes I met along the way For all the times that my country’s fallen short I was proud that day Twenty July 69, Houston is Calling I was looking for my Martin Guitar Words and Music by Gerry Segal ©2019 Gerry Segal production, vocals Bob Rose lead guitar Gerry Segal Singer/Songwriter @ Artisan Songs From New York City. Performed at the legendary clubs of the Greenwich Village Folk Revival including: Gerde’s Folk City, The Village Gate and The Bottom Line. Gerry is writing, performing and recording music full time. His first YouTube Video: “Jacques: The Wall Street Tailor” won first prize on WNYC’s Satire Slam and was featured at New York City’s Blackout Film Festival. “Looking For My Martin Guitar” is a true story that I’ve been telling for 50 years. It began the day before Neil Armstrong walked on the moon. I was busking my way across Europe with my 016 Martin New Yorker. On July 19, 1969 that beautiful guitar was stolen off a truck. The next day, the day of the moonshot, I started walking house to house to pick up any trace of what happened. As the song goes, I never found the guitar that day. What the song doesn’t say is that I put an ad in the local paper. Offered a $50 reward and got it back no questions asked. I still play it today, That’s it in the picture. www.gerrysegal.com Click here to listen... 28 www.writeawaymagazine.co.uk
