It was a little unsettling playing guitar in the slammer for fear of breaking a string.  The policy was no guitars allowed, but the ones that had been there prior to the policy having become that could stay – but strings could only be attained through great difficulty.  People use guitar strings as tatooing needles in makeshift tatoo-guns made out of  Walkman-style motors.  There are some really brilliant artists in there but also a lot of Hepatitis C and Staph (both of which I was fortunate to avoid).  Anyway, this song was given to me by a phenomenal singer/songwriter who hails from Kentucky (which is the actual reason he is called KY).  We used to jam this out frequently on the acoustics in the yard.  Ah, the good old days.  I put a live acoustic version of this song on video back in ‘05 (click to watch YouTube video).
