The Steel Guitar Forum

Bobbe, I'm with ya on "Rose City Chimes" I have a C-D with you doing it,FANTASTIC job. I do like Londonderry Air by Buddy also. I have been after Jerry Roller to do it for me. Can't get him to so I'll go after Austin Stewart,, Will not be long till he's doing that too. Ron


"steelin is music to my ear"

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, If I had to pick just one song,it would be Blue Jade off of the Buddy Emmons Black Album. Here are a few more that come to mind.
Lonely Street - Jimmy Day
Gentle on my mind - Curly Chalker
On a clear day - Julian Thorpe

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?

Bill

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.

-Larry W

This one is newer but I love to hear Tommy White's version of " I'm Movin' On"

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!
Bobbe

Brett! Anything Tommy plays is my favorite!

Curly Chalker's "Alberta Bound" still holds court with me.

My favorites to listen to are any cut from the "Masters Of The Steel Guitar" Album, Bobbe, Jimmy Day. "The Nearness Of You", "Take Me As I Am", "I Just Destroyed The World". etc. I love to Play, "Night Life", "My Window Faces The South", "Back Home In Indiana", "Crazy". Good Thread Bobbe Thank You.

Terry Bethals version of " If" But then I love anything that Terry does.

My Farewell Party by Alan Jackson. I believe it's Paul Franklin. Toooo beautiful !!!

Jimmy Day's rendition of "Indian Love Call" and Lloyd Green's "Ashokan Farewell" are never far from my CD player's laser.<font size="1" color="#8e236b"><p align="center">[This message was edited by Nathan Delacretaz on 17 October 2005 at 07:44 PM.]</p></FONT>

Bobbe---I've alway's been a --FADED LOVE--kinda guy,--BUT--I quess to answer your question, it would have to be--LET THERE BE DRUMS.---Larry

Let there be drums? Yer killin' me!
Bobbster

I Like Jimmie crawfords Fire ball Mail. SONNY.

------------------

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.

Mr. Clean

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

E9: "Every Time You Touch Me, I Get High"
C6: "There Will Never Be Another You"

Buddy Emmons, of course.

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

Bill

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.
