With Allen Js new CD being released soon, our band leader says he wants to do a few songs from the CD, Pop A Top, Farewell Party Etc. Not having a copy yet & only hearing a few cuts on the radio, I was given the task of kicking of Pop A Top & Farewell Party at last nights practice So I did it the best I could,,,my way.
The following is my tab for Pop A Top & Farewell Party in case any fellow formites are in the same boat I think this will work until a real veteran shows me how its really done

Pop A Top,,Key-F E-9th

Hey Rick; looks good; but on Farewell Party; you need to raise or lower your 8th string on the 8th fret. Here is the way I kick that song off in D.

1.___|_______________|___________________10_____
2.___|_______________|____________10~~~~________
3.___|_______________|____________10b~10________
4.___|_______________|_10L~~12________________10
5._5a|_5~5a___8~~10__|_10___12~a__10a~10______10
6._5b|_5~~~___8~~10~b|_10b__12b__________10~b_10
7.___|_______________|__________________________
8._5_|________8L~10L_|__________________________
9.___|_5~~~__________|__________________________
10.__|_______________|__________________________

OOps your right guys; a typo. Should be 8th string on 8th fret; I'll try to go back in a correct it; for those that are printing it.
Thanks guys. Ok; I got to it and it's been corrected. Have fun.
Ricky

Actually; it wouldn't of been all wrong; because the 9th string lowered on the 8th fret would be an "A" note(the 1) and then up a whole tone it would become a ninth inversion of "A"; which all works. The reason I'm saying that is because this is just the way I play the intro; and it's not the original way it was played; so you can adlib your own inflections in a solo; and that typo mistake actually works within the chord structure>cool!! But; that's not what I ment to put down;so I corrected it. Now; I did just finish tabbing out the original intro and break; by Lloyd Green; sang by Gene Watson; and will be on the websight this evening.

Oops, I just re-read the start of this thread and now see that it's Allan J. So here's the next question - who's Allan J.?

Dean,

Gene Watson recorded Farewell Party with Lloyd Green on steel in the (mid?) 70's. Alan J is Alan Jackson, he has a new CD coming out today that has a remake of that song, Pop A Top, and some other classics.

Gonna head on over to Wal-Mart at lunch and pick me one up!

Great Al; glad you got something out of that. Now that is just the way I play it; which is tabbed above. I did tab Lloyd Greens version on the Gene Watson cut and I'm starting on the Jimmy Day version on the Johnny Bush cuts; all on Grahams real audio clips pages. I haven't heard Allans version via Paul Franklin; but I'm sure it's dang good; I'll probably get that CD soon; and if anyone has any trouble at all with the steel stuff; I can give it a whirl for ya; cause this is what I do for a living(ha.... . Have fun.
