Richard, nice to see one of Gordons oldies still working..what year is it??

I can't get to Ireland this year, Malcolm.

John, I've no idea what year it was made, or even if it is a Denley.
It might be an Ormston, which as far as I know was a Denley put together in the Burns Guitars factory, in the 60's.

Here's another of my favorites, it's an old one that Buddy did years ago, Sunday In Dixie.
My intro's a bit crap, but stick with it

Hallo Richard
Cor! that Denley brought back some memories,
the first pedal steel I had was a Rose Morris single 8-string,four pedal affair with either raise or lower not both.I did a
straight swap for my 1954 Gibson Les Paul
Black Beauty which I think I lost out on.
I am, and always will be, a ZB man after
that !

Real nice ! I love that song. What is your copedent? And where did you get the Backing tracks ?

I'm just starting and need some backing tracks.

I like "Sunday in Dixie" in the E-9th tuning, but I'm cureous to hear it on the
C-6th neck. Would it sound as sweet?

richard burton · Post by **richard burton** » 3 Oct 2006 8:56 pm

Thanks for listening, guys

Fred,
I made my own backing tracks a few years ago.
Real instruments (bass and rhythm guitars) and a drum machine (Alesis SR16)

My copedent is Jimmy Day (3 pedals 4 levers), with standard E levers on the left knee and dropping sixth string a whole tone on RKL, dropping second and ninth strings down to C# on RKR

Roger, I can't play C6, it's taken me 20 years to get my head round E9

That is very nice, Richard. Thanks for posting those clips! You've got a nice touch, and that guitar has a sweet tone (kind of sounds like an old Sho-Bud to me).

Cheers!

I really enjoyed that. Thanks for posting.
BTW, I see you're still in the closet with your sound.

Hi Richard,

Lovely playing. I love Sunday in Dixie, I've got a cassette with a crackly old vinyl recording of it knocking about somewhere, I'll have to dig it out and have another listen.

Would someone be willng to play this tune on the C-6th neck, and post it on YOUTUBE?
