I hope I am not stepping on Bill's toes by posting this, but I just cant get enough of this great tune by a great steel player, the late great Herby Wallace. I know its old hat to many of you, but here it is again  On another post in the tab section, I was wondering if anyone had a tab of this tune,,,I dont think Herb tabbed it.

| Wish I could help. Herby was my favorite C6 player and a friend. I don't recall this tune tabbed out on any of his material. I probably have the backing tracks in my stash of material. |

Love it. What a shame, I don't know the drummer but everyone else on that stage is gone now. We lost some great ones. That video is a treasure.

Thanks for posting this, it captures Herby's passion perfectly, I was lucky to know him from his many appearances at the PSGA's shows over the years. He was such a nice man and such a great musician, I love all his recordings, he really loved Jazz and classic tunes as well.
Keep them coming!

| Herby was a great player. I never talked to him at the Texas Show. I called him one day about purchasing a C6th course. He was very kind and talked to me like he had known me for years. I remember him telling me you have to play C6th if you live in Texas. He really encouraged me to learn to play C6th and I am still learning. Oh yeah, thirty minutes later I was getting off the phone with him. I found out Herby Wallace was also a 1st class individual. |

I always talked to Herby in St Louis, Dallas..you are right he was such a nice man..he and I were the same age and I discovered we had a mutual interest in model trains...he said when he got to a new town, he also went to the local train store. I bought all of the material I could from him, I have since found that I missed a few..ha. But you are also right, he always took the time to talk to me and treat me as a friend...his material was always so well done, accurate, and a pleasure to try to play ! Altho, of course, I always failed to reach it at a level I would like to, but I am still trying ! He was a real treasure, and I do miss him...he was definately one of my favorite players of all time ! A true gentleman in every sense of the word !

I liked his C6th material, he still had a G for the 1st string.

I see my sons big head on the front row. He's at the end of the tuning keys on Herby's guitar. If that kid was at a steel show he was getting a front row seat. He didn't care how many old ladies he had to run over.  I loved herby. I only lived 60 miles from him when he lived in Chattanooga. We got together sometimes for lunch. He knew all the great local eating places. |

Herby was a great player and good guy. He pushed me and it really helped my confidence coming from a great player like him.
Besides, his music there are two traits of Herby that come out in this thread…Herby loved to talk and he loved to eat!!
RIP my friend.
