Bobbe Seymour's intro on Touch My Heart on the Priceless CD. I am not familiar with the original and Bobbe gives credit to Buddy Emmons. However, I still like his version. My 2nd was my previous 1st - Bobbe Seymour off his Soulful Steel, Let Me Talk To You. Again not familiar with the original but still love Bobbe's playing.
My current favorite ending is on There Goes My Everything by Ralph Mooney and James Burton. Simple and sweet. My old time favorite ending is It Was Always So Easy by Moe Bandy with I believe, Weldon Myrick.

| On Bobbe's CD, "Steel Guitar Favorites", it seemed to me that some of it has the "Ralph Mooney" flavor; then too, I like all Bobbe's musicl. |

| Favorite intro (today, could change by tomorrow) is "Healing Hands Of Time", not sure who did the original cut. Favorite ending, well what comes to mind as I post this is on a 86' video by BE w/Scotty. The song was "SS Cool". BE plays a MCI on this one and is turning the bar around at times. |

| One of my favorite intros is a Barbara Mandrell song "Standing Room Only". John Hughey did the honors on that project. Another intro is on the "Manuel Family Band" project "Branded". The song is "New Well" with Sonny Garrish being the steeler on that project. The Manuels are a gospel group and that intro is very catchy. As far as the ending goes I will agree with Billy about the Emmons video recorded in 1986 where he turns the bar around. A little bit of credit goes to Bobby Caldwell for being the instigator of turning the bar. That is a must video for your collection if you guys have not purchased it. |

| MY favorite was Connie Smith's "Cry Cry Cry". I have Russ play it for me just to soothe my savage soul. But it works better when Laney sings it. hehe. |

| It has to be John Hughie on Vince Gill's version of Look at Us [This message was edited by Bill McKillop on 17 July 2005 at 01:10 PM.] |

| Yep, John's magic on Look At Us, and Buddy's killer intro on Night Life. Not on topic of Intro's & Endinds, but rather toward favorite instrumental, top of my list is Buddy doing Bitter They Are. Brings a tear to my eye every time I hear it. And Bobbe's Priceless CD is tops for top drawer playing of classic music. [This message was edited by Roger Crawford on 17 July 2005 at 06:16 PM.] |

| Tom Brumley's intro on Buck & Don's 1964 duet "Close Up the Honky Tonks". Spine-tingling it is............. |

Man I wish that I could pick out an Intro and ending that was my favorite but I have soooo many that it is difficult to pin-point one. I am wandering though, was Ralph Mooney the Steeler on Jack Green's "THere Goes My Everything"? If not who was?

| Man, there a lot of good intros. I particularly like one that Paul did on Overnight Success by George Strait. |

| Hey James, that was Buddy Charlton not Buddy Emmons on Waltz Across Texas, but you are right, one of the all time great intros. And I believe it was Pete Drake on There Goes My Ever'thing. |

| Eddie, thanks for clearing up a misconception I've had for several decades. Gotta say all Buddy C's steel in ET's tune is golden. |

Considering the banging around Rusty Young got on the last "rock steelers" vs "nashville steelers" post, I'm glad to say my absolutely favorite intro is his beautiful start of the Poco song, "Bad Weather", seems it's on their 2nd or 3rd Album. If you want to hear "breathing" steel guitar with chords that melt seamlessly into one another.... this is it...
and this was way before Hilton pedals(:>)>=[

| The Intro to "Wheels", I'm not sure who did it but I heard Steve Fishell play it with Emmylou Harris on the Opry one night and it sent chills up my spine. |

Thanks, Eddie. Shows you what stereotypical thinking will do to a man.
. . . and with that, Ray, I agree. Hats off to BC! |

Opps, went home and listened to Poco's 3rd album, the first with Paul Cotten, and I'm wrong on the title.... it's should be "What Am I Gonna Do?".... actually there are several very nice steel parts on this entire album.
Sorry about the memory fade... they say the memory is the second thing to go....(:>)>=[
