| For ME, BE's voicings on this very tune, was the spark of interest in steel playing, heard off Vietnam on armed forces radio, a long time ago. |

.. A long time favorite of mine.. I use the solo as a warmup/tuneup kind of thing and thought I had it "nailed".. Been playing it for years and years and years... had it "just like Buddy"....
Fast forward to about 2 months ago... For whatever reason, I put the old LP on and played the song..
Yeah right, "just like Buddy"..My foot!
Even on a 30 something year old tune, I got a big dose of reality! NOBODY does it "just like Buddy".. especially not me!  bob |

| it's from judy's album "who knows where the time goes." bob dylan's "poor immigrant" on the other side is just as good or better. beautiful harmonics intro. some spooky c6 on "pretty polly". buddy's on at least five tracks total. james burton on lead. a must have.

Other musicians include Steve Stills on bass and Jim Gordon on drums. What a band! That album motivated me to learn how to play the steel. The recording is still one of my favorites.

Don't miss Jim Cohen's instrumental version. Just beautiful work. On the "Finally Here" CD. It's all good.

| I am amazed there there is a steel player in the entire world anywhere that didn't know who played on Someday Soon. It is the classic tune of all tunes and like somebody never heard of the Bible.....O well I guess i am old... |

Bob,
That was Moe Bandy. Suzy Boggus did a nice one, too. |

| Steve.. correct, Moe Bandy... He should have left that one to the girls.. Suzy Boggus did a nice version too. A little more "country" than Judy Collins but still nice. The original is still the best ... bob |

It's listed under E9 on Tab from Buddy!
A lot of people say that Someday Soon was the reason they started playing steel in the first place.
Great stuff!

| I can still hear the steel work on that tune in my head. A classic sound from the 60's. This Buddy guy, he's right up there with Jerry Garcia. |

Gee, and I always ignored the steel and tried to nail James Burton's licks on the Tele. 
Does anyone know which Ian & Sylvia album that was on? I bet Sylvia sang it. |

I looked it up. It's on a 1964 album called "Northern Journey". I listened to a sound clip and it is sung as a duet. Interestingly, the vocals are mainly Ian singing lead line w/ Sylvia singing harmony but the lyrics are from the female perspective (he loves his damned old rodeo).
BTW--this is pre-Great Speckled Bird--no Buddy Cage, no Amos Garrett. Maybe there's a later recording too?[This message was edited by Jon Light on 19 August 2005 at 12:05 PM.] |

Actually Buddy Guy was a blues guitar player. He never played steel.
I remember Ian and Sylvia's version of the song as if it was yesterday.... |
