A THING OF REAL BEAUTY......

It's the voice of the man in the picture above.

It's the simple repetitive nature of his playing of the acoustic guitar

It's the cello which drops in and out all through the song.

It's the lovely unexpected bit of piano that come is at around just before the four minute mark

It's that last minute and a half after he stops singing that makes me sigh with contentment.

It's that the songs fades out with that hint of perfection.

And who can believe it's about the world of e-bay?

I’d like to buy a good
Used paperbacked living bible 
And I’ve got some things
That I’d like to put on out there 
Like a pony cart and an old bird bath 
A kitchen sink and a rocking chair 
You can turn me on 
Almost any day at noon

Hey I’d like to put on 
A four month old rat terrier pup 
I think he’s a male And he’s marked up pretty and everything 
This woman’s got some goats 
But his feets never been on the ground 
You can just buy one 
Or you can have the whole herd [ 

Yeah I’d like to find 
A twenty seven inch color TV 
Has to be non working 
An RCA cause I need the parts 
And daily there’s an old drive shaft 
And the same Berkeline recliner
It’s green and it’s cloth 
And it’s been used very little. 

Then there’s a Reba designs 
Size eight, prom pageant dress 
It’s icy blue 
With sequins worn just once 
There are others that are strapless 
But this one’s slit above the knee
 If you’re looking for 
Something perfect for that student 

I have always thought 
That hand guns were made for shooting people 
Rather than for sport 
Why not use a rifle in most other applications 
You might find a rifle or a musket 
But you’ll never hear a pistol 
There may always be 
Someone looking for or finding some
 
Guess I’d like to sell 
A good used paperbacked living bible
