One would think that after hearing this song numerous times, that one would go tired of it. Not so, when a "new and improved" comes along. There are so many unique ingredients in this version that you manage to make it sound brand new.
Fine job Peter!

By the way, are you all aware of Peter's great Cd full of old hymns and gospel songs? It is called Tunes from Heaven.
A "must have" for us all.

Hi Peter,
It may be freezing cold in Finland right now, but your steel playing warms the heart. Great job on this song and it's always a pleasure to see and hear your videos.

Thanks for posting them and keep them coming. :)

It's got everything in there it needs and nothing that it doesn't. Beautiful execution & tone. I'm always a sucker for that Lloyd Green string matching you use getting into the second section. Four stars!

Peter that was "SUPERB" ... your accuracy is outstanding and your playing on the higher registers in "Hughey land" ... and the use of the tip of the bar on some notes was exceptional :)

Thanks for sharing that with us.

Great job. I expecially liked the scale thing at 2:45 and lick right before the tag. Hearing the same old arrangement/licks gets old to me after awhile. :) :) :) :)

Peter, Nice work! Being a beginner, I know my opinion isn't worth much, but this is my first entire song that I am learning and can only hope to play like this at some point. Hearing what nice pedal steel playing sounds like keeps me motivated.
