Rocky Caple wrote it back in the early '60s, as I recall. Jim Loessberg also has a version on his CD by the same title. .

Rocky had a band in the Tulsa area for years called the Shotguns (imagine that). It hasn't been too many years ago I heard him play that in person at the Tulsa steel show. I don't know if he's still playing or not.

Sawed Off Shotgun is also on Ronnie Miller's new cd.

Thanks Rick. I had never heard Rocky's original recording of "Sawed Off Shotgun" before.

There are 3 other tunes by Rocky on this Myspace web page.

Hi Douglas,

I did "Tune Of The Week" on Rocky Caple a little while back http://bb.steelguitarforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=206048&highlight=rocky+caple.
Quite a cool player.
