Just getting back into this after a long hiatus. I purchased a used Korg d16 - 16 track recorder around the Fall of 2009 for $ 100.00 and I haven't touched a recorder in nearly 25 years. That was in the 1980's with a Tascam Porta 01-4 track. Things have come a long ways. The guitars and music equipment came out of a long hibernation soon after.

Lyrics
Thought I won the lottery Going to turn my life around Went to cash my ticket I read the numbers upside down. Watch my dreams go up in smoke Hardluck is my middle name But you can call me Johnny Broke Once I had a dollar Now its worth a dime Sold my dime for a nickle Lost my nickle now its not mine Watch my dreams go up in smoke Hardluck is my middle name But you can call me Johnny Broke Early in the morning Overtime everyday When I cash my check Mr Taxman take it away Watch my dreams go up in smoke Hardluck is my middle name But you can call me Johnny Broke I was dealt two tens I thought I had it made The dealer hit a six with three fives And took my money away Try to keep your chin up Keep your two feet on the ground Every time I take a step Everything comes tumbling down Can't afford to feed my dog And all he does is beg I woke up this morning And he started eating my leg Watch my dreams go up in smoke Hardluck is my middle name But you can call me Johnny Broke
