| I'm looking for either a cassette tape or CD of Haggs with the song on it with a STEEL intro and turn around. I have purchased three differant tapes so far and all have the earlier version featuring a lead guitar. Please tell me which tape or cd I can find the steel version on. "Thanx" Bill . |

| To the best of my knowledge the song has always had an accoustic beginning. I have several cuts and the all start the same. Not saying there isn't one ,but I have never heard it. |

| A couple of Xmas's ago I heard a version of this song by Alan Jackson on local radio...this version had a steel intro and steel lead in the middle....I believe it was on a Xmas compilation album or something....have never been able to find it and am still looking....it was "way cool"! |

Guess it wouldn't be a Haggard cut then, but a Jackson cut. Bet it is awesome.

| The song is called "If Were Not Back In Love By Monday" was released by Hag a few years after the song you mentioned. It has an almost identical melody although it wasn't written by Hag.It features double tracked steel by Norm really nice....Pete |

Thanks so much for sending the MP of Allen Jackson's Version Rebel, I appreciate it man !!!! Although I sure like it and the steel, it's not what I have been hearing. Someone mentioned it might be from a "recorded live performance" somewhere where Norm did the work on it, and there's a chance it was on the song "If We're Not Back In Love" but I'm almost sure I heard it with "December" interesting ---- Norm, where are you ? help !!!!!-  |
