A good friend of mine Tater "Nashville" Totts dropped by the house last night and he was pretty impressed with Band in a Box. So much so that he recorded four songs in an hour, including "Jesus Plays Guitar" first song on his new channel. I let him listen to some of the Brent Mason stuff and he said "that's real purty--now give me a piece of that."
https://soundcloud.com/tater-totts-radioIt is the first song on his Soundcloud Radio channel above. Nashville's Greasiest Hits.
Tater says he owes this tune to Gregg Allman who talked to him on the phone one day (for real) and advised him to "just play it clean." This one is for you Gregg.

Jesus Plays Guitar
Jesus came to my house today he said he wanted to play guitar
I said come upstairs my friend and I'll show you where they are
He went straight for the Stratocaster gleaming angelic white
He hit a chord and played a lick and then I started to see the light
I said tell me Jesus why you came
and can I get you anything
He nodded his head and muted the strings and this is what he said to me:
CH:
It’s been a long day of troubles
Been trouble all over the world
I spent the whole day talking to folk
who didn't understand a word
I saw good folk and bad folk
I had my work cut out today
But even Jesus needs the chance
to just sit back and play
So play on Jesus, play it Son
sounds like Heaven's already come
Play on Jesus, play it Son
sounds like Heaven's already come
already come
yeah

Coda:
Jesus came to my house today
He said he wanted to play guitar
I said come upstairs my friend and I will show you where they are
I will show you where they are
