Good Morning!

Another week already gone, so it is time for the new clip of the week. Here's one from 1974, all instrumental this time:

Well it has some of Wiggins style but not the ting-a-ling so I'm gonna guess Jerry Byrd.

Walter; I , like John first was inclined to think of Little Roy; sounds a little like Jerry, but don't think so. Maybe Don Warden? A Puzzler, for sure..Bernie

Here's another hint: The player is a true pioneer, member of the Steel Guitar Hall of Fame and started his career already in the 1930s...

Kind Regards, Walter

Well, if we can have a second guess, I'll say Alvino Ray.

just a wild guess, cliff carlisle

I go with Alvino Rey too

OK, here's the answer - the steel player is Leon McAuliffe, from his 1974 album "Take It Away, Leon" (on Stoneway Records).

Kind Regards, Walter

Walter: I've been baby sitting all day and just got in but I have to tell you this. I was stationed at Tinker AFB in OK and Leon was a regular at the NCO club. He would sit in the caffeteria and teach me music and steel guitar. He knew my feelings for The One Rose by Jerry Byrd and we discussed it on this Forum some years ago as well.

One summer, we both went to Canada. He to do some fishing and I with a NATO assignment. When we both returned to the club, he motioned to me to come to the bandstand and said: " I have something for you !" He played a few bars into The One Rose and he could see my eyes light up. Next break he played more, including the chimes which he also knew I really liked.

I have never forgotten him or the song and I would have nailed it had I been here. It is one of those once in a lifetime things that happen every now and then and I sincerely thank you for letting me (and the Forum..) hear it again.

Regards, Paul

Paul,

Thanks so much for sharing this story. I had no idea that this track has such a special meaning for you, but I am really glad that I selected it. Music really is the universal language...

Best Regards, Walter
