And buddy play that steel guitar,

This wouldn't quite qualify,
as it's a recitation rather

however it is a recording.

Artist: Tommy Collins
Track: Cigarette Milner
Lyrics: ". . . and Russell Bailey on steel.
Russell just got him a brand new rig today.
It's a Dilly. It's a double-neck, four-pickup,
nine-pedal, two knee-lever job."

~Russ (no, not Bailey! )
