I remember Badfinger's tune, Day after Day, but it was George Harrison's slide guitar that hooked me. So now, many years later, I decided to create my own arrangement with my "steel guitar orchestra."

Cool, thanks for that Chuck! I remember Badfinger very well; hard to believe that was over a half-century ago.  |

Thanks, guys. It's funny how some vocal songs just turn into instrumentals when I sit behind the steel. Glad that my arrangements bring back some good memories.

I have just had a small convesation this morning about the bad luck the group Badfinger befell.
You did a great job with this one Chuck!

| Thanks, Joachim. As music history shows, having the right or wrong management makes a big difference. |

That's a smooth sound! I remember Badfinger from my school days, and I liked their original sound. It wasn't easy getting the country group I was in to do their big hit "No Matter What", but we had (for the most part) a younger audience and it went over well. 
Wish I'd made more tapes of those old days.  |

Thanks, Donny. Yup, those tunes were definitely from the long ago, but as the Byrds would sing, "I was so much older then. I'm younger than that now."
