short of money

Markus Kiener 1960 (Regensdorf)



I play acoustic guitar
the guitar is strung with nylon strings

I use: D'Addario, Pro Arté, Nylon Core
Normal Tension, Silverplated Wound, Clear Nylon
- EJ45-3D -

I’m short of money here and there
I have to save everywhere

I buy: D'Addario, Pro Arté, Nylon Core
Normal Tension, Silverplated Wound, Clear Nylon
- EJ45-3D -

I’m short of money here and there
I have to save everywhere

a shop tried to deceive me the other day
he talked about margin and told me his price
I shall pay for one package - EJ45-3D -
three times more than usual in trade
I told the shop assistant right away
instead of deceiving me take me by surprise
get me three packages - EJ45-3D -
to a reasonable price and the deal is made

I’m short of money here and there
I have to save everywhere

I got: D'Addario, Pro Arté, Nylon Core
Normal Tension, Silverplated Wound, Clear Nylon
- EJ45-3D -

yes, I got them to a reasonable price
great guitar strings
