Anyone name a track that Tom Brumley cut where there's prominent use of his 11th string E? There must be something out there. Thanks.

Listen to Act Naturally on the Carnegie Hall album, towards the end of the chorus they go through a 6 to a 2, and that`s the most frequent use of the string. Generally I guess the string was used live to play Don Rich`s rhythm pattern when Don was singing harmony. Greg?

I'm pretty sure I hear it in the intro and outro of "Steel Guitar Polka". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yyCuYqPAoqA

Jim, - you`re quite right, - I forgot that one. By the way, the Steel Guitar Polka was only performed live once, - at the recorded show in Tokyo in 1967. Tom for once set up his steel at the hotel and - at Buck`s request - came up with this polka, the band didn`t get to practice it, but it came off flawlessly that very night
This according to what Tom and Willie told me, - what a band!
