In march this year my friend Srečko Lavbič passed in a terrible train accident. For more than 30 years he was one of my best friends and he was also a great guitar player, a member of my band Kladivo, konj & voda, and one of the best music composers I've ever met. A month or so after he passed, I asked his wife Nevenka to borrow me his 30 - years old guitar for one performance. She said yes (for many performances!) ...
So now I'm proud (and honoured as well ...) to play a brilliant 30 years old Yamaha FG - 180-1. It's priceless and it sounds really great after all these years!!! And whenever I play it, the smiling face of my friend appears in front of me ... like he's with me.
And he is: in my heart.

This Old Guitar
(John Denver)

This old guitar taught me to sing a love song
It showed me how to laugh and how to cry
It introduced me to some friends of mine
And brightened up some days
It helped me make it through some lonely nights
Oh, what a friend to have on a cold and lonely night

This old guitar gave me my lovely lady
It opened up her eyes and ears to me
It brought us close together
I guess it broke her heart
It opened up the space for us to be
What a lovely place and a lovely space to be

This old guitar gave me my life my living
All the things you know I love to do
To serenade the stars that shine
From a sunny mountainside
Most of all to sing my songs for you
I love to sing my songs for you
Yes, I do, you know
I love to sing my songs for you
