Stay with it at least to the bass solo...he kills it!
...I wish I hadn't sold that Deluxe 8, or the '66 Vibrolux either.
Thanks Dan! |

Thanks guys, that was a fun gig until...Tiny Tim (who we were backing) had a heart attack on stage and fell like a tree into the front row. He died a few months later. There's a video somewhere of the whole thing, what a bummer.
Yeah Doug, I took my one and only steel guitar lesson from you in about 1988(?). I think you got a kick otu of it because , believe it or not, I wanted to learn C6!!! Crazy how time flies. |

Great job, Carty. That tune is called "I Wanta Learn To Play The Steel" by Jerry Byrd from his Admirable Byrd LP.
Thanks for sharing!

| Mike, That solves that mystery. I learned that tune from an unmarked cassette, always wondered what lp it was from. Now I need to find a copy. Thanks |

Jerry played E9 tuning on his “Admirable Byrd” album. He was going for a "pedal steel" kind of sound.
Here's what he said in a 1973 interview:
| Quote: |
| "I did an album called "Admirable Byrd" and I did a lot of pedal sounds in there ... not as good as the pedal guys could do it but it was that sound and it was still different. I wrote a lot of the tunes to show what you could do without pedals in an E9th tuning. I got a lot of mail ... one of the songs is "I'll Be All Smiles Tonight" and I do a lot of bar slant work, you know, and a lot of people still don't believe I did it without a pedal guitar but I did. To me it's kinda silly. Why would I lie about it if I did play pedals! I'd tell 'em." |
That album does sound different than his other recordings... more "major chord" sounds IMO than his C6 playing, different voicings, different slant sounds. Great stuff.

| Funny, my Deluxe 8 doesn't sound anywhere near that good. I think it has to do with the player. |

Cartman, I may still have that VHS somewhere. Remember you sent it to me, I always wondered what was that with Tiny Tim falling off stage. Does Joel still have his "Bar In The Uke"?  |
