How about "Pop A Top".
Some great steel work on that one.

Godspeed Maxine.
The Browns' music occupied a space that was not only lyrically and musically valid, the harmony of sibling vocals with Jim and Bonnie was an added touch of reverence to song craft.

Three Bells in particular - reading this thread brings me back to being a kid and hearing it on the radio. _________________ Mark |

Kenny,
I really can't say.
My 1st guess would be Lloyd Green but chances are that's wrong.
