I just finished watching a documentary on Harry Nilsson, the singer-songwriter popular in the l960-70s. Although he wrote hits for other acts, he won a Grammy for his version of Fred Neil’s “Everybody’s Talkin’” from the movie, Midnight Cowboy. I immediately remembered the tune and Nilsson’s great vocals and decided to try it out on my Frypan. Hope you enjoy the arrangement.

Very cool....that's a great song for steel.
I saw that documentary, what a talent he was. A fabulous song writer.

Hi Guys,
Glad that you like the tune. Songs with strong melodies always make great instrumentals for the steel guitar. Check out this link to Harry Nilsson singing the tune: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2AzEY6ZqkuE
