I've had a couple of requests for the backing track in the last few days and since I hadn't played the song for awhile I thought I would take a stab at it, mistakes and all. Especially the expert video editing and the hair dryer at the end. Hope you enjoy it, mistakes and all. At one point I forgot I didn't have the 1st string raise on this guitar. Thanks for listening Eddie

Eddie: Great song for steel guitar and you did your usual fine playing. You have been my friend of many years and I have always enjoyed and admired your steel guitar playing. That old Sho-Bud raises it's voice everytime you play it. Keep up the good music!

Great job Eddie.

That is one of my all time favorite songs. I play this on most of the shows that I when I get a spot.

Roy Rosetta has told me that I WILL be playing this at the ISGC this year.

Great playing Eddie. I enjoyed the song very much. Maybe I'll try using a hair dryer to improve my playing.
