Mike Fried/Hey Maria

[John Kalament]

Love this song, Hey Maria by Wylie and the Wild West Show. Mike Fried is the Steel player and does a wonderful job on this tune. Haven't heard from him in a while but I think he still lives in the Nashville area.Would love to post this tune to share but don't know how to (Perhaps someone could help)
Thanks !

Hey Larry, Thank you so much for posting it ! I remember listening to you every time I would be in Delhi at the Street Festival. I owned a Fireworks Display Company and we would always set up on the top of the hill leading up to the College.
Never got to meet you but you and your band always sounded Great !!! Got to meet Tiny Olsen at the Cobleskill Fair one time about 10 years ago. Wow how time Flies ;( Thanks so much again and I hope some fellow Steelers enjoy it !

John, you should have stopped up by the gazebo and said hello. I always enjoyed those gigs. Good food, nice crowds and your fireworks from time to time. One night it poured down rain right about the time we packed up to leave and we did get wet loading out!

[John Kalament]

Your right Larry I should have stopped by to meet you but we always seemed to be a little late in setting up and I always had to supervise the set up right till show time, didn't want anything landing on the Gazebo or the people below, lol

Wonderful recording, i love that straight forward and tasty style, nothing too complicated A/B pedal, E's lower and a full tone pull on 1 sounds like, yet the feel is always hard to emulate and compliments the flow so wonderfully.

I agree Larry, love this song and I wish more people will give it a listen, very tastefully done !
Thanks for your comment !
