Nice tone there Norm. Good job.

It was fun to hear what recordings of these my old borrowed computer would play. Like some others have said, I'd like to hear Jeff's version. But I would also like to hear a leavitt tuning version. Now before anyone suggests that I do that I want to clarify. I mean a GOOD leavitt tuning version.

Edward, why don't you do a version using whatever tuning is easiest for you?
Jeff Au Hoy says he's going to do one soon, so that's something to look forward to as well . . .

I haven't the computer equipment or skill to do it. I'm going to visit my son in early October. Maybe he'll be able to help. I never go anywhere without a guitar.

OK, here's my take on it. I went a different direction; I hope no one is offended. I was going for a New Orleans R&B feel, but with the stuff I have, this is a close as I could get without getting the band together. It's got kind of a rhumba beat.

"Percussion" and "bass": Yamaha keyboard
Acoustic rhythm: Takamine dreadnaught through a shure Beta 57

For steel and electric rhythm, I ran though my Line6 guitarPort. It's OK for practice, but the tones aren't great, so it's harsher sounding than when I plug into an amp. I played my Melobar LS6.

Awright Peter! That's probably what ol' Hank was hearing when he was on that highway to Hell!

Ha! Say, wasn't Highway to Hell the flip side of Cold, Cold Heart?

Peter: it sounds South American to me. I can almost hear the marracas, etc.

I loved it Peter....very cool!

Peter Jacobs · Post by **Peter Jacobs** » 19 Aug 2007 4:07 pm

Muchas gracias, Alan and Mark. I guess in trying to make it sound one way, I stumbled on something different that worked out. Story of my life...

Edward Meisse · Post by **Edward Meisse** » 19 Aug 2007 5:41 pm

Story of everybody's life.

Hey Peter, very innovative!

Thanks, Rick - when I first read this thread, the rhythm just popped into my head. I've been enjoying everyone's different approaches -- your version was great (as usual), so was Andy's bossa nova version. It was also cool to hear George using your tracks.

Everyone who posted sounds so good, and I'm still struggling, so this thread is a real inspiration.

Now, when is Jeff Au Hoy going to post something?

Yes, that's the question on everyone's lips . . $:\$

Peter, I loved your French Quarter version!

Peter Jacobs · Post by **Peter Jacobs** » 7 Sep 2007 11:59 am

Thanks, Andy - much appreciated!

I wanted to bring this thread back to the top. Surely there are more versions out there (Paging Jeff Au Hoy! Please pick up the convenience phone in the lobby!)

I think it's time, if not to resurrect 'Hank', at least resurrect the thread !!

If any one wants more; we can post the rest of the verse and my cute ending lick.

I echo Rick this is excellent stuff and I for one would like to see the rest of the verse with your cute ending lick.
Thanks,
Mel Taylor

Thanks for this posting George. I agree with Mel, and hope that you would post the entire version. I have mastered all but one section from your original video and would love to get it all correct. I actually learned how to play this entire song from your excellent video. ( my first complete song)

All the submissions are great so far. I did one using BIAB backing tracks on a National New Yorker in 'Don Helms' E13.
