My friend Billy Henderson sent me this sound track of Bitter They Are. I Added the Steel. I've always loved this song ever since I heard Robby Tuner do it.
So get some Tums and enjoy.

| Nice! Could you tell us which Vox were you recording with? I think this is the first time I've knowingly heard a Vox amp on a steel recording. Great rendition of a great song. |

I also use a modeling amp, a Fender Mustang. Modelers have come a long way since the initial offerings and they record great. |
