It's Just Air Music
in the words of Robert Pete Williams
"It's just air music. It just
comes to me,
is all. When I ride
in a car
or I'm in a field working
I might begin to hear
sort of an echo, as an echo
of singing,
like. And then
maybe I start to sing
with the echo,
or maybe I just keep it
on my brain
until I get home
& then pick up my guitar
& start to play those blues.

"Yessir, it's just
air
music, but I re-
member it.
Oh, I write them,
too. I sit here & look at you
from the head on down,
& I could make a song
of you. Or say
you misuse & scold me,
I could make a record
of that.
Well, sure. Like me & my wife.
If she's mad at me
& get to fussin', then I just
get my guitar
& sit down like I am
right now, & I just
pick it off. Just pick those blues
away. It'll be all right then."
