This site features songs I wrote and recorded over the last several years with my wife Cathy and various other musical collaborators and friends. The early stuff was done at B-Scene Studios in Edmonton (Thanks Todd!) and the more recent stuff done at home with a Zoom digital recorder. The additional players on these recordings include Bruce Brososky on guitar and bass, Steve Lemiski on drums and percussion, and Graham Calder and Laurent Arams on guitar. Bruce, Steve, Laurent and I perform as Urban Bunny, and sometimes as Kitty and the Cool Cats (basically a classic rock cover band), with Cathy fronting. Bruce and Cathy each have their own Soundclick sites as well, which you can check out from the links below in my "Fans" section. (kittyxule, Bruce Brososky).

Story behind the song

One good guitar and one good friend should be wealth enough for anyone.

Lyrics

THIS OLD GUITAR’S A LOT LIKE YOU

© Terrence R Taylor

WHEN I TAKE THIS OLD GUITAR OUT OF THE CASE
IT’S LIKE A DEAR OLD FRIEND OF MINE 
JUST WALKED INTO THE PLACE
FOR WHATEVER TIME WE’VE GOT, 
AND WHETHER I PLAY WELL OR NOT
THIS OLD GUITAR PLAYS STRAIGHT AND TRUE
THIS OLD GUITAR’S A LOT LIKE YOU

YOU CAN SEE IT’S BEEN AROUND SOME, 
YEAH IT HAS SOME SCARS
THAT’S ONE WAY THAT PEOPLE, 
ARE KIND OF LIKE GUITARS
LIKE HOW THEY HELP YOU SEE, 
AND FEEL THINGS DIFFERENTLY
OR GIVE YOU SOMETHING YOU CAN LOOK UP TO
THIS OLD GUITAR’S A LOT LIKE YOU

EVEN WHEN IT’S RAGTIME, OR BLUES
THERE’S NOTHING I WOULD RATHER DO
THIS OLD GUITAR IT GET’S ME THROUGH LIKE YOU DO
THIS OLD GUITAR’S A LOT LIKE YOU

WHEN YOU SPEND AND AFTERNOON 
WITH A GUITAR OR A FRIEND
THE ODD STRING MAY BE BROKEN, 
BUT IT’S QUICKLY STRUNG AGAIN
AND SOMETIMES ONE YOU FIND, 
TURNS OUT TO BE ONE OF A KIND
THOSE ARE THE ONES YOU HOLD ON TO
THIS OLD GUITAR’S A LOT LIKE YOU
THIS OLD GUITAR’S A LOT LIKE YOU
THIS OLD GUITAR IT GET’S ME THROUGH LIKE YOU DO
THIS OLD GUITAR’S A LOT LIKE YOU
