Here is a live sound clip of the duo "2Can" with Steve Cain on keys & drum machine & myself on lap steel doing "Sleepwalk" at a sound check before a show.

Thanks to my good friend "The Gentle Viking" Steinar Gregertsen for helping me post this sound clip...[This message was edited by Terry VunCannon on 13 January 2005 at 03:31 PM.]

Nice job Terry! The keyboards sound great too.

Terry, are you playing this in the open-E tuning you usually play in? Also, I don't quite recognize the sound of a National Dynamic,- are you using the Harmos on this one?
Nice work!

Steinar

Sounds very nice to these olde ears !

Yes Steiner...I did play this in E...some of the other tunes on the song list need that tuning so I try to play Sleepwalk that way so I won't have to retune or carry a 2nd lap. That is the black/white 1949 National.

There IS a line in the lyrics "What am I to Do?" I often find that these words are missed by the players.. WHY ?

Very Nice!!!Great job nailing the ending.Whew!!
How did you get this to download so fast? With my dial-up I usually can't stand the wait.Was this run through a compressor or data limiter of some sort.

Great job! I'm still working on getting the whole tune down and this helps a lot.

Mark...The clip was compressed...it does make for easier downloading.

One of my favorite instrumentals... and the tone you got is one of my very favorites, can you tell me more about the gear? I like the sound of that National.

This has always been one of my favorite steel guitar tunes and your version is excellent. I too like the tone you get out of your guitar/amp setup. Very nice, thank you. Bill

Thanks guys for the nice comments. You are so kind. First off, I play with my thumb, index, & middle fingers, no picks. I change from guitar to lap & don't have time to stop & put on finger picks. It feels very natural to me this way, easier to mute.
The National Dynamic is a Black & White 1949 with the screw on connector, & a big cover plate on the pickup that makes it look like a huge Humbucker. It was run through a Fender Blues JR(15 watts)with just a touch of reverb.
