This is a lot of steel to glim your limbs around.

Nice. I had a friend that made that tune his signature song. He passed on a couple years ago. His mentor was Garland Nash. The great Jerry Staley !! RIP

oooh yeah...Thanks for putting that up. I played that (or tried to play it) for a lot of years. Mr. Chalker played that with feel and emotion that can't be taught or copied. I always got a good crowd response whenever I played it. Not a bad live sound coming out of that Emmons guitar thru a Nashville 1000 and an old 70's Ibanaz delay.

Thanks to all my people that post my stuff and support me and try to keep me out of trouble. Which from what I can tell is not that easy!

Forget not my new website. I just put a slide show that I call "Thru The Years" showing a few guitars that I have owned. Just added pics of Jack Strayhorn working on my Emmons..

Also a lot of songs that I played on YouTube are tabbed on my tab page.

Join me and my 120+ folks that are apart of the 240th week of Steelin Techniques, my Sat. Broadcast.

Just checked the sheets for the Saturday Steel-In, too. Looks like a barn-burner!

My pleasure , William. I love watching Chalker's stuff on the old Wilburn Brothers' rebroadcasts. His phrasing, sound and emotion blended into a heady mix. Sometimes his steel sounded so airy and full,those harmonized couplings would like to come through the screen. He and Hal Rugg and all the other greats who graced that that sound stage provide quite a path for us to follow. Unfortunate that very few are blazing new trails in that vein, but its a different scene and we got some great recordings to listen to, and a picker like you to bridge that knowledge forward.
