Crazy on the lap steel

I've played many different arrangements of "Crazy," but I always loved Patsy Cline's definitive version. I wanted to try this rendition on my 6 string lap steel since I usually perform this tune on the pedal steel. Having just six strings instead of ten limits my choice of notes, but I love the tone of the lap steel. Hope you enjoy the recording.

Very interesting. It really brings out the many different "vowels" of the lap steel!

That was beautiful Chuck. BTW, did you make the backing track?

Hi Guys,
Thanks for the compliments. Crazy is one of those tunes that can be performed a variety of ways. The six strings really help me interpret the song differently than I would on the pedal steel. Andy, I found the rhythm track on the Forum years ago, but the link has vanished.

Very nice....had to see if you were just "going crazy" on the steel or performing "Crazy". Either one would have been good.
