Rose City Chimes, possibly my favorite,
We all have a favorite song to hear and to play, I sure love this Bobby Garritt masterpiece, but was afraid to record it for years because I just wanted to do it right.
It had to be a little funky, very western swingie, had to have great slightly detuned fiddles, and that great Texas rhythm section. I'm happy with the recorded result but I hate to play it live.
Now for the question, think about it, what is your favorite song to hear on steel guitar. To hear, Not to play.
I'm reading every post here.

Jeez Bobbe, can't you make it a bit easier than that?
Gospel: Bells of St Mary's,,, (with lots of harmonics)
Easy listening: Maria Elena
Country: Farewell Party (by Billy Cooper)
Hawaiian; Where would one start?
It's too tough to pin down one tune over all. Am I banned?

(I am not right all of the time but I sure like to think I am!)

Maurice Anderson's version of "Shadow of Your Smile", Curley Chalkers version of "Shadow of Your Smile", Doug Jernigan's version of "Shadow of Your Smile", Johnny Cox's version of "Shadow of Your Smile", Howard Roberts version of "Shadow of Your Smile", Johnny Smith's version of "Shadow of Your Smile". Hmmm, do I see a pattern emerging here?

Bobbe, "Rose City Chimes" is my favorite on your "Classics" CD. The Travis picking is what makes it for me.
My favorite song to hear on steel would have to be "Teach Your Ch...." JUST KIDDING!!!...kidding.....
Really there are so many but if to choose just one I have to go along with Tony..."Danny Boy". (more great songs for steel.."Autumn Leaves"..and "Hindustan"... "What a Friend We Have in Jesus".)
Best Regards,
Johnny

Bobbe that is my all time favorite also. Scotty told me he sat down with Bobby G. and tabbed a non pedal version years ago, but forgot it over the years. I still would like to get a version for my own use. www.billchaviers.com

If, and For once in my life by Curly Chalker.And Bobbe,hope you or some one can answer a queastion for me.
I used to play Bobbe Garrets version of the Rose city Chimes 40 years ago or so and as i recall i was using a fender 1000.As i remember i started the chimes intro an octave higher than i can on the later steels.I now have a Carter but am unable to do the intro 2 octaves high.
Have i forget something or did the fender 1000 have a longer neck than todays steels? Any info appreciated.

It's so hard to pick one,It's like asking me which one of my kids I love the most.I think it would have to be the original Sleep Walk.Considering the primitive circumstance it was recorded under[compared to todays million dollar studios] it has endured the test of time.Reminds me of my teenage years in the wonderful 50's,sitting in a soda shop with my teeney bobber honey,playing Sleep Walk on the jukebox.coming in a close second is Take the A train,Bobbe and Maurice really does it justice on the Super Slide D.V.D.!!!
