年前某日,居家吉他自自唱,著得在「不怎」,忽然起年碰的吉他盒中拿了出,也想自一番。未料吉他的插座和音量旋扭或因太久受到氧化,等於是法操作了。我的把Fender Stratocaster是1992年去日本出差便回的,然是「日」的,是我所有吉他中最好的一把,也是存的一把。下子吉他了如何?然是想再把新的,上研究了一番,相中了Fender Jazzmaster 和 fender Telecaster ,非美正的格相便宜,把加起也不到5大洋 ( 我Gibson和一些日本的品牌趣,而Rickenbacker的格又在有些。)。站家,欲的Jazzmaster的型,只了Telecaster ( player / 墨 )。另家中原有台Peavey 100W的音箱,恐也不光了( 到在都 ),定再台小瓦的音箱,本一直定Marshall 15W的,但後到Fender Champion 20的一些建音效,像是音、回音年真空管音箱的效十分相似,就毫不豫的去器行抱了一台回。

年後,新的吉他由行送了,奶油加上黑色的板,外算是意,了一下,或由於按弦的手指尚不,感有些「硬」。之後了一多星期,忽然接到老同Teddy的,告知Andy要小型的英文老歌演唱,希望我也能去捧。Andy是比我低一的弟,由於也吉他及唱西洋歌曲,有子常在社一起玩。Andy算是主唱人才,但印象中除了The Platters的那首《The Great Prentder》外,我乎想不起他曾唱哪些歌。自後和他也有,直至年前在一同女的婚宴中遇到,但由於身外表的化,若非透介,方已是互不相了。

些年,真的不知道Andy在些什,而想到的是和我一,一直未忘情於西洋歌曲,而且是身力行。在演唱了6、7首歌之後,Andy忽然宣,原本邀了位佳,也算是他的歌友,一起共襄盛,唯其中一位因身不取消,但仍到了。另位女歌友上台唱了3首,其中首是法文歌。中休息,Teddy正要告我於蒂 的事 ( Teddy後在工作上算是前的蒂的父有些交集,另-9。 ) ,蒂突然地出在我面前,真的是大大的surprise,原她就是那位取消演唱的女歌友。40多年,她也已「敬老」的年,但看她的身材什大走,部的皮白皙光滑,也什 ( 哈!或是餐光的故吧 ),完全是美熟女的模,我禁不住美她是愈愈漂亮了。她仍得我最後碰面是在左的「汽班」,我提去「今日」唱歌的事,她上接:!就是在石歌的隔壁。而我的鼓手阿彪已先向天到是有些唏,她得另位吉他手,也是弟的某,但位弟一直在社的「火命案」跑路,不知行。短短十分也能聊什,最後蒂情地勾著我和Teddy的手臂,三人合照了一相片留念。

人生有一些是一子忘的。蒂忘不了在青春少女和我一起唱歌的那一段,Andy也一直追要他唱西洋老歌的心想,而我或是想藉著有吉他去吧!只是我老婆得有些怪,何在我次吉他後,一些相的往事都扯出,是冥冥之中的率相呼?
最後,藉著Andy次演唱曲目中的歌曲《Almost Persuaded》,作篇文的,下次再相聚不知又是何了。
附:我的那把故障的Fender Stratocaster吉他,後找到了一家可修理的器行,含保、弦、零件,花了4000多大洋後恢如昔,音色依非常的棒。

(9)I'll Never Fall In Love Again
Last night all alone in a barroom
Met a girl with a drink in her hand.
She had ruby red lips, coal black hair
And eyes that would tempt any man.
Then she came and sat down at my table,
And as she placed her soft hands in mine,
I found myself wanting to kiss her
For temptation was flowing like wine.
And I was almost persuaded to strip myself of my pride.
Almost persuaded to push my conscience aside.
Then we danced and she whispered, "I need you!"
"Take me away from here and be my man."
Then I looked into her eyes and I saw it:
The reflection of my wedding band.
And I was almost persuaded to let strange lips lead me on.
Almost persuaded but your sweet love made me stop and go home.
Last night all alone in a barroom
Met a guy with a drink in his hand.
He had bay blue eyes, coal black hair
And a smile that a girl understands.
Then he came and sat down at my table,
And as he placed his hands over mine,
I found my self wanting to kiss him
For temptation was flowing like wine.
And I was almost persuaded to strip myself of my pride.
Almost persuaded to push my conscience aside.
Then we danced and he whispered, "I need you!"
"Let me take you away and be your man."
Then I looked into his eyes and I saw it:
The reflection of my wedding band.
And I was almost persuaded to let strange lips lead me on.
Almost persuaded but your sweet love made me stop and go home.
