New Clip of the Week 10/05/08

[Walter Stettner]

Another trip to the past this week...we're going back almost fifty years this time. Here's a great version of a classic song that was written by Leon Payne and also recorded by Hank Williams:

Enjoy!

Sounds like Billy Walker and Jerry Bird.

Howard: Those were my same words when I first heard it and still are with several more listens. I surprized myself by having one of those tunes that stick in your head for a day or so, a little earlier. It was these two giants of country music with their recording of FUNNY HOW TIME SLIPS AWAY.

I was singing it to myself as Caleb and I were chasing trains and he asked me what the song was. That's hard to explain to a six year old how something from your youth is still stuck in your mind. As Walter always so aptly puts his intro to these dream songs: From another time, another place !!

Regards, Paul

Great selection, Walter. I enjoyed this.

(Yer' posts always seem to result in my violating a copyright law. )

I have no other ideas than those already mentioned.

I'd like to know the tuning on the steel when you give the answer.

Thanks,

Johnne Lee

Johnne, don't worry, I won't tell anybody!

Howard was right from the beginning, it is Billy Walker and Jerry Byrd. Jerry was of course playing a non-pedal steel, I am not sure about his tuning, though, but there are a lot of experts wo would know for sure, Ray Montee comes to my mind in particular...

Kind Regards, Walter
