The Steel Guitar Forum

How many of you are aware of the fact that before Ray Price recorded and had such a big hit with "Release Me", it was written as a gospel song??? Yes, it was!

I had the sheet music from an old "Hillbilly and Cowboy Hit Parade" publication and I ran across the gospel words to the song, so for the Month of April, this will be my offering to all who request it.

Just make your wishes known and I will send you this liitle piece of musical history at no cost. You can give praises to the Lord with this old Honky-Tonk classic! It will be complete with notation, chords and the gospel lyrics.

Erv

BTW: As usual, the tab will be done up for the E9th pedal tuning with not much out of the ordinary. Also, I forgot to mention that if you haven't requested tab from me before, I will be needing your postal mailing address.<font size="1" color="#8e236b"><p align="center">[This message was edited by Erv Niehaus on 03 April 2006 at 10:36 AM.]</p></FONT>

I think we set a record for requests.
Between the above requests and those received directly by e-mail, they total 22!
I trust you all will receive a blessing with this song.

Andy,
I really have to compliment you. Only playing for 6 months and going to do a number in church,WOW!
You have to be a faster learner than this old left-handed Norwegian.

Let's all give praises to the Lord!
