Am I not allowed to say anything unless it is adoration of the Great One.

He is just a naughty boy you know.

James.

What the heck does that mean ?!?!?!? "The Great one"

also "He is just a naughty boy" grow up !!!!!

This video was put up to show other steel players Pauls great playing. Everytime I upload a video of Paul you have something negative to say.

Can anyone tell me what this guy means by "he is just a naughty boy"

Am I detecting jealously ???

Jamie,
To understand the "Naughty boy" reference you would need a sense of humor and have watched the Monty Python movies.

We have all heard Pauls great playing.

James.

It was cool to see how much Vince enjoyed it!

Jamie Lennon · Post by **Jamie Lennon** » 17 Apr 2009 1:50 pm

Ok fair enough, but why say "The great one" and obviously that was put as a sarcastic comment judging by other comments !

Dont like that, personaly Paul is my fave and number one to me. But yes there are other great players too, right now I got Tommy White on you tube showing my mate his playing !!! I love the other players too, but Paul is my fave !!!!

Thanks, Jamie - that may be the high-point of my day!

Vince is pretty great, too. It's a wonderful clip.

Hey Jamie
Easy boy, easy.
Absolute magic. That is what I call Music. That is a heartfelt tribute to someone special, played by someone special.
Superb singing and fiddle work. But.....
What about that sympathetic and empathetic vocal harmony !!! glorious. It lifted the Vocal tremendously.
I'm assuming it's Dawn Sears.
Cheers Jamie, Nice one
Barry

Nice subtle fills from Andy Reiss on guitar, too.

Jamie Lennon · Post by **Jamie Lennon** » 18 Apr 2009 8:12 am

Listen when Paul plays his solo at 3:00 into the track you hear someone in the audience say "WOW"

Give us some stuff he has created himself, this has all been done better by others many times.

With the utmost respect I think You are a wee bit out of order Jim,It is very obvious that Jamie is an out and out Franklin fan,
I am a Hughey lover.
I have met both these Gents several times.
Whilst John Hughey is MY all time fave I must say that Paul is an exceptional steel player,He is a very humble person and will always tell You how good the "other " steel players are.
If you have ever seen Paul "Live".....Well WaW is probably the best description.The recent Dave Peterson album will show just one aspect of Pauls talent,it is astounding.
My opinion is that there is no numero uno
There are many top players in this,and the next world
let's enjoy them all for what they have given us.
Jamie I apologise for turning this thread around a bit.Thanks for posting,We can never get enough good steel playing.
Best regards
Billy

OK Billy,

Jamie, this neverending stream of posts about Paul is creeping me out a little. Never have I witnessed one mans complete infatuation of another.

Everyone knows what a great player Paul is. I was very happy to meet him at the Dallas show and his Dad who is also a wonderfull person.

His playing is truly unique and far beyond most. His success proves it.

I really enjoy these videos of Paul. I think it's the unussual zeal that stikes some as odd.
