"I still miss you Jimmy Day. This song you recorded; was played at your funeral; then I played it for you a few years after you passed, on my "Blue Darlin" and here is that rendition again 21 years later today. RIP
"Farewell Party" for one of my greatest Mentors.
Me playing my tribute to Jimmy Day at the St. Louis Steel guitar convention; on my "Blue Darlin" Fulawka.

I did Tab the greatest "Farewell Party" Solo played by Jimmy Day on the first Johnny Bush album from 1968.
Here's that song Jimmy Day made famous with the most emotional playing you could ever hear.

Here is my "Tribute Tab" I did shortly after we buried Jimmy Day. RIP.
| Tab: |
I have to say; this was very difficult for me, both emotionally
and mentally. How do you tab such emotion. Jimmy Day was known
for the best "feel" player and it is very hard to write down all
the inflections and emotion, he puts in playing around, and through
the measures of time, and song. As I, and all of Jimmys' family and
friends said our last goodbyes to this wonderful man; "Farewell Party"
played by "Jimmy Day"; was the last song we heard at his funeral.
I did shed tears on that very sad day. And I have to say; tears were
shed today as I listened along and tried to capture the most emotional
steel player in history. I miss you Jimmy Day.
