B. Bowman hop, either the original or Doug Jernigan's version. Super stuff. The feel of the tune will make you move.<font size="1" color="#8e236b"><p align="center">[This message was edited by Jim Bob Sedgwick on 12 October 2005 at 05:49 PM.]</p></FONT>

Bobbe my fren...you still know how to start sumpin!!With so many favorite players(you included), and so many favorite tunes, it is hard to pick just one.

Back in the mid 60s I used to listen to Opry Star Spotlight on the way to work,RCC by Bobby G. later by BE,love em both, also love your version. Do you play it on E9, or use both necks?

Soo hard to narrow it down....

Would have to be "Hold It" by Buddy...still gives me chills to hear it.

Close runners up:

"Cjam" from PF's first record.

Everything from the Superslide DVD--brilliant stuff and truly inspiring, but dang it, now I'm lusting for yet another instrument!

Everything from the Buddy Emmons and Hal Rugg DVD...especially the shuffle stuff. If DVD's can wear out, I'll find out with this one and the Super Slide DVD.

Bill Ford, on this song (Rose City Chimes)- I have to use both necks. The thumb style is on the C6th, the rest on the E9th. I feel this is the way the way most guys do it I'd guess.
This is one of the reasons I like this great composition, a lot of varity and different feels. Not a boring note anywhere!

Tiare No Tahiti by Jerry Byrd (his first recording of this tune) is my favorite for listening.

...got to be the very best harmonics of my lifetime. I've made it a life project to learn to play the harmonics like that. I'm nearly half-way there.

My favorite to play is on pedal steel, Ernest Tubb's Half a Mind by Big E. I may be a little over half-way there on this one. Image

If you want to play it clean, you must play it on a Fender.

Does anyone have a tab written for the "Rose City Chimes"? Advise where one could get it.

I really enjoy all songs with pedal steel in them. As long as it's played RIGHT. I mean, I don't care for overplaying.

"Once Upon a Time in the West" done by the incredible Buddy Emmons. Everytime I hear it is like the first time, as it inspires me with it's great melody and dynamics.

Here's some great ones that i love because they're off the beaten track, yet they're masterpieces:

Smooth Sailing - Leon McAuliffe

I Can't Give You Anything But Love - from the live Spade Cooley LP. I always thought it was Joaquin, but it might be Noel Boggs.

Floyd's Guitar Blues - Floyd Smith with Andy Kirk & His Clouds Of Joy

Comin' Through The Corn - Bobby Black w/the Black Brothers

Almost To Tulsa - Buddy Charleton

Fat 'N Sassy - Jaydee Maness

All My Friends Are Gonna Be Strangers - Lloyd Green

Darvin- have you heard Phil Baugh's version of Shadow of Your Smile on the Nashville Superpickers album? That's my favorite.
