| Not sure if this is the right place for this question but here goes -- many years ago I used to play an instrumental in a band called "Stealing Corn." (Or perhaps it was "Steeling Corn"). I learned it from the guitar player and we played the whole little romp in harmony. I never actually heard the original and I can't seem to find out who recorded this. (There is a song on a Mooney/James Burton album which has a song with "corn" in the title, but that isn't the song I'm looking for) Is anyone familiar with this tune and who did it? Thanks so much. Boo |

If memory serves me right, I think Merle Haggard's Strangers did that instrumental on The Fightin' Side of Me album, recorded live in Philadelphia, PA.
Here's a picture of the cover...
Hope that helps,

Boo---the title that I had years ago but haven't seen in years is Introducing My Friends, the Strangers, 1970. Does not seem to be in print.
--btw--the Burton/Mooney cut is "Corn Pickin'"[This message was edited by Jon Light on 01 October 2006 at 01:37 PM.] |

| Boo, I think if you go to the Merle Haggard web-site you can find that album on CD format there. [This message was edited by Steve Dodson on 01 October 2006 at 02:32 PM.] |

The Feral Swing Katz do a great version on their second album (won the Australian Country Music Instrumental award for that track). That album isn't available from their web site but may be elsewhere.
