Dismal Ax and the Arborea inspired 'Red Bird' guitar to benefit relief efforts in Japan

I've been working with Tennessee guitar maker George Downing 'Dismal Ax' on a guitar design and we are working on a new body design that will be revealed this year. George created the 'Red Bird' model inspired by our song 'Red Bird'. Since I've dedicated that song to the people of Japan, George is also donating a portion from the sales of each guitar to important relief efforts in Japan. George specializes in guitars made from salvaged and sustainable woods. Check out his fine creations here Dismal Ax 'Red Bird' model guitar

Won't you take me down to New York Town
Won't you take me down to Baghdad Town
The Walls are falling down
I hear the Sound

Won't you take me down to Gaza Town
Won't you take me down to Beirut Town
The Walls are falling down
I Feel the Sound

People come and go and don't they know
Paradise is Now it's all around
It's all around
I hear the Sound, I Feel the Sound
I Feel it Now

Won't you take me down to New York Town
Won't you take me down to Beirut Town
