That is an awsome intro, the first time I heard it,I was with a friend who is a steeler, and my friend said that old John almost ran out of neck.
I believed him.

Anybody remember listening to Eddie Stubbs the night he interviewed John Hughey and Tommy White on 650AM. It was a cold night in Nashville, maybe December, I think. A friend of mine recorded that for me and I play it sometimes and still enjoy listening to John talk about that song and marking the fretboard with a pencil.

Vinyl to CD

Post by Wally Pfeifer »

To Don Brown Sr.
Go to www.heartlandamerica.com and check out the machines to convert vinyl to CDs. They have 3 or 4 and a couple of them cost only $99.99. I don't have any of them because I can't make up my mind which one I want or how good they are. I have thousands of Hawaiian, C&W,Big Bands etc vinyl LPs to convert to CDs.

I personally also like the intro and run in Ray Price's version. The tone of the steel is unique... Maybe Jimmy Day did it? The ex has thrown out the book that came with my box set so I don't know who was on the original session.
