Now before you comment please listen to this video.
This is hard core honky tonk country music with a great steel turnaround in the middle - watch the steel player
at the end of his ride >>

The song is called Lonely At The Top - was co-written by Keith Whitley but he died before he could record it
the song story is about a struggling musician- words go
It's lonely at the top but it's a b*tch at the bottom!
Let's hear your comments on this song.
Thanks .. Ron

Here is another link to the same song - you can't see the band here but you can hear the words a little clearer >>

"Tone is in the hands. Unless your wife will let you buy a new amp. Then it's definitely in that amp."

We need to turn the TWANG up a little

It's not what you play through, it's what you play through it.

They say that tone is all in the fingers...I say it is all in your head :)

Some of the best pieces of life are the little pieces all added up..Ron

the value of friendship. Old friends shine like diamonds, you can always call them and - most important - you can't buy them.

Hi Ron, Yeah, that's a good one and Cowboy did himself proud on the steel. A guy I play with started doing it and I worked out most of it, kinda got it close.... I think...))))

Good for you Big Jim..It is a great song for a musician to do I think.
Yes, Cowboy is having a ball on the turnaround - in fact the whole bands looks like they are all having a great time together on stage.
