| Pretty sure it's just a glitch in the YouTube. I, like many, learned that break back when the song was on the charts, and if that hiccup had been in there I would d*** sure have noticed it! |

I may have posted this before, but they recorded "Houston" in Florida and Buddy was driving back to FNashville he saw the saw the Space Shuttle Challenger blow up.

I think most of "Houston" is played with the A&B pedals engaged which of course turns the E9th tuning into an A6th tuning; Or at least key phrases with those signature c6th sounds are played in a no pedals style, but with A&B engaged, if that makes any sense.

Same here. A bit off topic, but anyone (maybe somebody living in a cave somewhere? LOL) that hasn't heard Expedition E9, it's incredible. It's the record that really got me interested in pedal steel. Textbook stuff... The whole thing is on YouTube:

Buddy's tab for Houston is on the Buddyemmons.com website. It is indeed done on E9.

I used to play it on C6. Back then I didn't know you could play C6 stuff on E9.

|
|
| I was at Jeffran College in the early 1980's taking one of Buddy's seminars and he had just shown us how to play Houston on E9th. I asked him why he played Houston in the E9th tuning. He gave me a puzzled, knowing look, like it was a real stupid question, and said he did it because of the way it sounded. That opened my ignorant ears to the E9/13 tuning jazz sounds of the early swing players. |

I wonder if we might have been in the same class, Gary.
