I just finished reading Burt Bacharach's autobiography. He wrote some good ones, including a favorite, "Walk on By" as sung by Dionne Warwick. Here's my arrangement with lap steel and tenor sax.

| Indeed a great classic song. Nice easy feeling with the lap steel. A Sierra? Whatever what it is, it's in good hands |

Hi Mark and Jan,
Glad you like the sounds. I'm using my 6 string Ricky Frypan, C6th tuned to a high G. I'm not sure what key the original was in, but I'm in the key of F.

Hey Chuck!  Another winner!
Seems like we both have a penchant for those older songs with class. Bacharach`s talent, just seems to reach out and grabs you, along with his former partner Hal David,and performed by Dionne Warwick, made musical history. I totally enjoyed your rendition, keep up the superb good work.
Ron

Nice one Chuck! Back in the sixties on my transistor radio there was Dionne Warwick and the next song was a Jimi Hendrix song etc., but I mostly liked everything they played.

Thanks, guys. I always enjoy turning vocal tunes into steel guitar instrumentals. It helps when the tune has a recognizable, strong melody like this one.
