Johhny Bush original version Key of E. I know where the various chords and pulls are but need the correct name of a couple of them.
Right on the very first line "Each night I make the rounds" is that a B minor ?
Also on the bridge "Than face another day" D# minor ?
Thanks, -  |

Perhaps my version will be of some help. There's a handwritten chord chart if you click on "arrangement".
See "What A Way To Live - E9th played with no fingerpicks (just a thumb pick)" on this page:

Bill, as you know, there is certainly a lot about the steel that I don't know, but I find that on the first part of your question, you can play either a B minor or a E7th. Either will work, depending on the sound you like. Part 2, I'm not sure if I know exactly where you are referring, but I walk down to a f# then to a B, then back to the B minor or E 7th. Try it, and see if that works for you. Larry

Hey fellows, do any of you possibly have a track for this.
If you have one you can share, I'd surely appreciate it.

It is an E7th chord for the first four bars, you can play a B minor against that and it will work but the bass defines it as an "E" chord beyond any doubt; the bass "walks" an E chord for all four bars...
Didn't we have pretty much this same discussion a year ago?

Off topic:
I feel really silly asking this, but Bill, maybe you're the guy to ask!
In my almost thirty years of steel guitar madness, I have of course seen the name Weldon Myrick in print many times, but I'm not sure I've ever heard it said out loud by someone who had reason to know how it's pronounced.
I've always thought of it, and said it, as My-rick. But someone I know, who has spent some time in Nashville, recently pronounced it Meer-ick in conversation. Have I had it wrong all these years, or does he??
I'm sensitive about these things--if I had a dollar for every time my name's been mispronounced, I'd be a rich man.  |

I was told it was "Meer Ick", but I can't remember if it was Pete Drakie, Tom Brom Lay, or Buddie Eye Mons that told me!  
Seriously, it's a pretty common name, and I've never heard any pronunciation other than "My Rick".  |
