Must be the cold weather coming on... Everyone is recording surf tunes.

Here's Bill's great arrangement of the classic tune. Cool guitar, excellent steel!

I've always loved this song (especially Jorgen Ingmann's version - what a soulful player). A week or so ago Gerald posted a fantastic uke/guitar arrangement of this song and that inspired me to finally try a steel version.

All the lead parts except for the Wes-style octaves of the intro and outtro were played on my Asher Ben Harper lap steel through my Microcube's line out.

Hi Bill,
Nice job. I like your interpretation of the tune, especially some of the different layers you created.
