The Steel Guitar Forum

This has been one of my favorite songs going way back to listening to Jack Cotton Singing it in Calumet City back in the early 70's. ( beautiful John Hughey rhythm track ) Entitled The Bitter They Are. Russ Weaver you'll remember this.
I hope you like it.

Link deleted, I wasn't aware there was a thread with this song already. So I removed the link to my version.

OK, here is a replacement song for the one I deleted.
This song is a wonderful song Lloyd Green recorded years ago, but this is a Jim Loessberg rhythm track. I love the arrangement on this one as well.

Sounds good again Fred...the playing and the guitar. Used to play this one quite some time ago. Got the tab from Buddy when at Jeffran...sadly I lost it along the line somewhere

Am sorry, I didn't know there was a version of this song (The Bitter They Are)already up.
I have removed my link, Sorry.

Hey Fred, at least I got to hear it before you removed it and I must say
you sure did a great job on playing it, and your steel sounds beautiful.

Carl thank you so much and I'm glad you enjoyed it.
I wasn't aware that Bill had already put this song up or I would have never put mine up.

Fred, don't take your version off. This isn't a competition. I loved your version so put it back on.

How many versions of A Way to Survive or Mansion on a Hill are there on here?...who cares...It’s always interesting to hear someone else's take on any given song...PUT IT BACK!!!...

Bill I know its not a competition thing, I think on my behalf it was more of a respect thing.
Dale I understand your point of view as well.
But I've decided just to replace it with another beautiful song called "Midnight Silence"
I hope you all enjoy it.

Just a beautiful song played so well, that is what got me started playing steel.

Fred,
This is one of my favorite tunes from Lloyd. Mercy...I might have to stop playing it after hearing your beautiful version...seriously! You definitely did this tune "Justice" in every way...Your style, touch and tone, are top shelf!Thanks for posting it for us...Carl
p.s. That last dollar you sent will cover this response!

Hey Fred.....Are you getting my posts? I don't see them on the discussion page.....Dick.

Carl, you ain't right buddy, but I love ya just the same.

Dick, you got it all worked out now bud.

Another nice one Fred!

Thank you Niels

Bernie many thanks for your nice comments.
I do really enjoy playing still, and I do look forward to seeing you again in Texas next March.
God bless you my friend.

Fred, Midnight Silence has always been one of my favorite songs, and you did an outstanding job on it. And of course your Justice sounded perfect. We've missed seeing you this year. We're planning on Texas next March. Keep up the good picking. Larry
