A bump for a super version of "Blue Bayou".

Beautifull Zane...your playing and Donna's voice. Nice to see a Sho-Bud there, or were my eyes deceiving me? Most Steel on the Webs now show the newer brands. Thanks for that clip.

Fantastic rendition!

Post by Larry McFall »

That was indeed fantastic. You Donna matched that one to the key. I liked a lot!
Played the Steel from 1948. Have had the opportunity to play a multitude of Military venues considering I spent over 32 years with the U.S. Army. Got to play in many foreign countries which was fantastic. Married to the same woman for more than 57 years. Have children, all of them served in the military. 7 Grandchildren.

It's always a treat to see what frets and strings are being used to play these neat notes.

Thanks Zane for the wonderful presentation.

Now you will excuse me whilst I retreat to my laboratory to try some new experiments based on this lesson. I gotta spend more time on the lower strings.
