| Johnny Paycheck recorded the song. It was written by a good friend and co writer of mine, Donn Tankersley. I always liked the steel on that song. I use to think it was big Jim Murphy but I don't think it was him. |

Bill, You have the "Big" part right, but it was "Big Jim" Vest on the recording. I'm sure "Big Murph" did it plenty of justice countless times on the road and also on maybe one or two live recordings. Love the lowered 10th string tuning used in that song! He repeated it in a similair fashion a few years later on Vern Gosdin's - "Set 'Em Joe".

| It was also Big Jim Vest on songs like "Take this Job and Shove it" and "The only hell my Mama ever raised" also by Johnny Paycheck. Big Jim has a very unique style of playing, and he is also a really COOL person, with lots of Great Stories. |

Hey Red! Remember that time in St. Louis that we did all those tunes with Jim in the Derby room. Now that was fun!
