Does anyone know if Tom Brumley ever recorded Sleepwalk?

Thanks Mike.

I got to chat with Johnny at the induction to the SGHOF in St. Louis a few years ago

A classic. Anyone know what his tuning was on that lap steel? ... ideally what each string was tuned to?

I met both Santo and his brother Johnny back in 1960 in NH and spoke to them for about 1/2 hour.
The tuning has been mentioned several times on the Forum as this subject has been posted also many times.
I believe the tuning used was C#m7.
I'm sure one of the non pedal players can write it out here for you.

Andy,
Nice job, too bad the guitar player didn't know the tune.

Brandon; Thanks for the info. I thought I had heard Tom play Sleepwalk. May have been on Scotty's Music.
