The Steel Guitar Forum

"Village Swing" was written and recorded by me as a tribute to the place I have played for 11 years, Country Village Opry. Very simple and easy to play. It takes a little download time so be patient. http://www.countryvillage.com/villageswing.mp3

YEAH, MAN!!

Another great work...

Good Job Reggie......very Smooth and Tasty arrangement.

Reggie emailed me an "advanced" copy of this
tune a couple of days ago. I raved about
in my return email & would like to do so here
on the forum as well. Terrific song, playing,
and recording mix!!!

Your touch, attack and style IS the way I enjoy listening to the steel guitar.

What a blessing you have Reggie. Praise Jesus,

carl

Nice playing and arrangement, Reggie - care to share the recording details - was this done in a commercial studio or do you have a home recording setup?

Thank you patient guys for taking time to listen and comment!
Mike, I recorded everything at home with a Roland VS 880. The steel is my 1979 Emmons plugged directly in...no amp. The horns on the intro are done on a Yamaha Keyboard, as are the drums and piano sounds. I played the bass guitar with a Fender Precision.
Thanks again!<FONT SIZE=1 COLOR="#8e236b"><p align=CENTER>[This message was edited by Reggie Duncan on 15 May 2004 at 09:28 AM.]</p></FONT>

I like it! I like it! Nicely done, Reggie.

Thanks Bill. I remember selling that BMI for you back around 1980. It went to Jim Turning Bear in Brockton, Montana. That was the nicest BMI I have ever seen and played!

Great job Reggie. Catchy tune too.

Very nice! Bob

Great job. Vrey nice tune.

Thanks to all of you! Gary, I will have to send you a cd.

Tasty! Someday I hope to play that good.

Reggie, Love that harmony and the way you swing it in and out. Great arrangement, never booring after listning about 25, times , hoping to fix the melody and timing in my head..You leave a lot of room to improvise and embellish upon the entire piece. I love it, not too fancy with a lot of garbage ...... thanks pard. Jennings Ward..........Steelin cause I can......

Well, what a treat to find this little gem. Good one, Reggie!

Thanks! I have had the little arrangement in my head for several years. I don't play C6th, but I wanted to do something in the swing mode, not too fancy, easy for someone to catch on to. I have had quite a few accuse me of copying something they have heard, but they can't tell me what the name of it is. If I have, it isn't intentional.
Thanks again.

Reggie i do'nt know why i can't play your new project but it's not the first time my ''puter '' did that . If you would send that to me that would be great . I will e-mail you my address . Thanks and God bless you . G.P.
