Brilliant rendition Chuck!
I used to sing that song back in 1965 - I always loved it.
I even saw the movie a few times . .

Does anybody know what tuning Chuck uses on his "pan" He sure get a beautiful sound out of it and it seems as though its not quote "fancy" just great use of the tuning.  |

Thanks for the nice comments about my arrangement of "Ferry Cross the Mersey." Like many Baby Boomers, I love the sounds of the l960s, especially the British Invasion. For my lap steel tuning, I'm using a modified C6th, similar to the first 5 strings of my pedal steel's C6th neck:highest-GECAGF-lowest. Having the low F really opens up some chord possibilities.

I am a beginner, but now after hearing several songs that you have done. If at some point I could just play 1/10 as good as you, I think I would be amazed. But being I just started out with a lap steel my mother gave me this week. I think it will take me severalyears just to play a few chords you play and for the music years!
But Im inspired by your playing
