GOT A FINE NEW CD, "TIL THE MILKCOWS FLY" OUT. IT FEATURES THE FANTASTIC PEDAL STEEL OF THE FAMOUS EARNEST BOVINE. ALSO SHOWING UP AS FILLER MUSICIANS ARE WILL RAY ON GUITAR, DOUG LIVINGSTON ON KEYBOARDS, CANDY LERMAN AND BOBBY BRUCE ON FIDDLES AND OTHERS. YOU MAY CHECK IT OUT AT MY WEBSITE, www.tompowell.org , WHERE THERE'S AN MP3 OF 1 TUNE, OR AT www.cdbaby.com/tompowell , THEY WILL HAVE CLIPS OF 4 SONGS THERE. BOVINE REALLY TEARS IT UP. HOPE YOU LIKE IT.

I've heard this CD and it is Real Good Original Music. Earnest Bovine struts his E9th chops behind Tom and gets in some tasty and hot steel solos. That Livingston guy on piano is pretty good, too! 
Here's a link to the mp3 file of Dollar Bill.

I hear that Bovine and Livingston will never be seen in the same room together, must have been a chore to record.
Seriously though it sounds interesting!

YEA, THEY DON'T LIKE TO WORK TOGETHER. SEE, I DON'T KNOW IF I SHOULD MENTION THIS ON THE FORUM, BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE IT WAS BROUGHT UP ABOUT STEELERS, BUT THEY AVOID WORKING TOGETHER 'CAUSE THEY'RE, WELL-INTIMATE, VERY CLOSE- AND IT MAKES THEM NERVOUS TO BE IN THE STUDIO TOGETHER. YOU KNOW, BOVINE PLAYED PIANO ON A SNEAKY PETE ALBUM I'VE GOT, BUT COME TO FIND OUT-HE LEARNED FROM LIVINGSTON. SO I GOT DOUG FOR THE SESSIONS ON KEYBOARDS. THEY'VE BEEN CLOSE FOR SO LONG THEY'RE STARTING TO LOOK ALIKE. I'D BET YOU A COLD BEER WILL RAY COULDN'T TELL THEM APART IF THEY WEREN'T AT THEIR INSTUMENT.
WELL, HOPE YOU ENJOY THEIR PLAYING-I DID/DO. TOM |

| I tried the link to the MP3 and it's apparently no longer available. My Windows Media player hangs up and if I go to the site and click on MP3 I get a page that says the link is invalid. |

| This link works for me, Jack. I tried it on a Win2K computer that defaults to WinAmp and on a WinME computer that defaults to Media Player. |

Still doesn't work for me. All I get on Windows Media Player is "connecting". The only way I can get out of it is to do a CTRL/ALT/DEL and do an end task on the media player.
Windows Media Player is my default MP3 player.
Also, like I said when I went to their site and clicked on the MP3 link, I got a page that said the link is no longer available. |

GENE-
YES I DO BELIEVE IT IS THAT SAME BOBBY BRUCE. BOVINE SAID HE WAS THE MAN IN THE LA STUDIOS ABOUT 20 YRS AGO. THAT, OF COURSE, IT WAS WAAAAAY BEFORE MY TIME. NOT THAT EARNEST IS OLD-HE'S JUST BEEN AROUND THIS NECK OF THE WOODS MUCH LONGER THAN ME. SORRY EARNEST.
HE WAS REFERED TO ME BY ANOTHER FIDDLER WHOSE NAME I LOST.
AS TO THE MP3, A FEW PEOPLE I GOT TO CHECK IT SAID IT SEEMED TO WORK OK. I DON'T HAVE AUDIO CAPABILITY ON MY SYSTEM , BUT I'LL GET MY TECH CREW TO CHECK IT OUT. |

Im having problems with my whole Windows set-up, I can't get anything to happen, but this is an ongoing problem here.
Regarding Bobby Bruce, he was a session bandleader in Hollywood; as early as the 1960s.
He's on some of the great Warren Smith country material recorded in the 1960s.
He's listed as bandleader of a nine-piece with Al Petty for one session in the early 1960s for example.
I think he did a Wynn Stewart session, as well as many others.[This message was edited by Jason Odd on 30 April 2001 at 06:15 PM.] |

| Hey TomP, would you mind turning off your CapsLock key? It looks like you're shouting at us. |

I finally got it! Some great steel in there.
However, I had to use RealPlayer to access it. My Windows Media Player (V7) (default MP3 player) would lock up and never time out if tried to access it by clicking on the link b0b has with I.E. |

Sorry Bob, didn't mean to shout. I'm just lazy.
I've got someone working on the faulty link at the page.
EDIT: He says it's all fixed now.
In case there are any rabid Bovine fans out there who actually are going to buy this weird collection of songs and must use a credit card, the CD Baby site is up and on. My site's price includes shipping, so it's a bit cheaper. But whatever melts your butter. Thanks for the interest. Tom[This message was edited by TomP on 01 May 2001 at 06:51 PM.] |

| The steel guitar work on Dollar Bill really is smooth and enjoyable. Now that I can't seem to get this tune out of my head, I only wish my steel guitar playing recorded that smoothly. Nice job. |

| Recently received Tom Powell's "Til the Milkcows Fly." Loved the tracks, was a little partial to "Ain't I Your Sweet Daddy Anymore," (cut 6) "When Your Ship Sails," (cut 10.) Never had the pleasure of meeting Will Ray or "Ernest Bovine." Loved their playing. I was wondering, is "E. Bovine" on the Forum? If so, would like to hear from him sometime.

Hey, thanks a lot Pete. "Ain't I Your Sweet Daddy Anymore" is my favorite too. Hard for me to pick a favorite, but it's arrangement has the best feel to it, to me.
Earnest, who I suppose is not showing up on this post out of modesty-or embarassment at the bad jokes on my part, and Will Ray indeed did some great playing on it. There's a spot on the other tune you mentioned, "When Your Ship Sails" where Will started singing through the f-hole of the arch top he was playing. We thought it was so cool we left it in. Amazing what children will do without adult supervision. I'm sure they appreciate your compliments. Thanks again. |
