challenged woodshed. Ricky Davis I know
you can make this one sweet.

Now Steel tryin
you have hit on a real classic. Get that "A" pedal working better than good. An old friend (departed) of mine did this song in Bluefield, WV, way back in the late '50's. His name was Buddy Pennington. He performed on WHIS-TV. I still get a lump when I hear this song. Thanks for reminding me. Do you know the original author of the song?

Hey Steel tryin'; if you send me that song in the mail; I will be glad to tab it for you or compose a nice instrumental version for you. I don't have a copy of it and actually I don't have very many instrumentals I play myself; so I haven't really worked on it. If I remember though; It is a beautiful song.

Ok, boys, be careful. You're touching on my THEME song at the shows I play.
I also just recorded this (with the help of Billy Phelps making me a rhythm track to my chart) for my daughters wedding. Came off good.
This is the song that got me into steel guitar in the first place, many moons ago.

| I always think of Buddy Charleton when I think of this tune. If his version of this tune with the Texas Troubedours isn't the definitive version it must be at least one of the best. |

| Fred, that is a beautiful song, we used to play it every night, good for a waltz. The Author , If I remember correctly, I am getting old, is Wayne King, who was the waltz king and had a big band that was quite popular before WWll...Happy Holidays...al |

Boys, think Fred Waring and his all girl
orchestra. The Pennsylvanians?. It was his theme song. He died a couple years ago. He
financed the original cookware which bears
his name 'Waring'. He was the author of
'The waltz you saved for me.'

This thread has turned into a real
memory lane. Wasn't that a blender
Waring got his name on. Just thought
I'd keep this thing alive while I wait
on Ricky. |

Well steel tryin; I got your tape in the mail and yeah that Lloyd Green is something else on that song. I've never heard a version like that before. It would take me weeks upon weeks to try and tab that one out. I do have a underground copy of a version from little one on one session my best friend Gary Carpenter and I did. I could try and learn what he played and it is the most beautiful version I've heard of that waltz. It still would take some time to tab out the whole song; especially with the amount of time I have to work on it; is very tough to produce whole songs. Just the clips on Grahams' sight is hard enough to do it justice. Let me know what ya want with that said; and we'll go from there.

The name's listed on Buddy Charlton's
verson is King- Flindt & Kahn no first names.
Anybody would agree that version rank's
close to the top,that lit my fire when
I heard Issacs play it the first time.
I was playing a 6 string learner at the time
and tuned 2&3 strings reversed to play the lick.
