This is "Canadian Sunset" from Buddy Emmons Swing Series.
I am playing along with the rhythm track.
As usual, it never comes out exactly as planned!... but...

Pete is getting ready for a great set at the SWSGA show in Mesa - I can guarantee it’ll be burning!

Pete that was really cool. Haven't seen you since long ago in Phoenix. Hope you are doing well. I really liked your performance of that song.

Gives me something else to work on when I have the time.

That is an 80's MCI S12U 8x5 that I bought off of Craigslist recently.
It sounds really great and is super fun to play.
I think it has to do with being 24" Scale???
Fits me real well.

I play a chord that uses P5+P6+P7 at the very end of the Bridge, at 1min-45sec, and again at 2min-50sec.
I think it's cool because you go from the open 4-chord position, to a three-pedal-er that drops/raises 4 adjacent strings affectd by P5+P6+P7.
I call it... An Augmented Diminished Chord, ha ha! Smile
I'm serious Laughing

Also, one thing I have found about learning these old Standards from the BE Swing Series is, I can play along with other famous versions of the song on YouTube (easy to transpose to the different Keys once you know the song).
I was playing Canadian Sunset along with the Keely Smith Big-Band version, and, as a big Louie Prima & Keely Smith fan, that is fun for me Smile

The Buddy Emmons version starts at 22min 30sec:

Also, In this live RedNeck Jazz version, Buddy plays this song using both necks!... and, I need to get an EBow!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9G5k92Ppw4
Which is a great for playing on The Universal Tuning Smile
I play those long slides in E9.
Then is goes right to P5 with E's lowered, etc...

One more!....
There is some great Buddy Emmons Steel playing on this excellent recording/version!

The Rhythm Track can be bought along with the Course from Jim Palanscar at Steel Guitars of North County.
I got mine at a convention back in the day and it is on Cassette. It is on CD now.
