I was listening to a Jerry Byrd/ Scotty arrangement of Among My Souvenirs and got inspired. As always, I'm using the Ricky Frypan and Band in a Box.

That's a nice old tune. Been playing it since the late 40s, because my Mom liked it. Smile

That was really a wonderful performance!

How about doing like the guys that take photo's and have them published in photo-mag's?

They always tell the type of film used; the lighting; the camera body, type and model of lenses, etc.

Was that a real group of live musicians; or, BIAB?

I really liked the "group sound". It sounded LIVE.

What tuning did you use? I couldn't figure it out with 60 years experience behind me.

So, 'fes up. Let us inside the loop!

Thanks for the compliments, guys. I always enjoyed this tune, especially the Scotty/ Jerry Byrd arrangement with the nifty key change. Ray, I'm using the BIAB program with "the real drums." It's a fun practice program. I'm tuning my 6 string lap steel to a modified C6th tuning: (highest) GECAGF (lowest).
