I finally cut a track to this tune using Band in a Box.

Steel guitar instrumental-You lay so easy on my mind. A hit for Bobby G. Rice. I always loved the melody. I used a Peavey Nashville 1000. Only the reverb from the amp. A ZOOM H4n recorder and a ZUM steel. You can see how far I positioned the recorder.

Clean tone and I like your approach to the song. Perhaps the background rhythm could be turned up somewhat.

What settings did you have on the amplifier?

I hope you're putting it to good use! I have his go bag filled with a bar and some of his picks and his home built six string lap steel (which is older than I am!)

Great job on the song, Ron. It is a song that is certainly off the beaten track... with a really nice melody.

It does seem counter intuitive to have the recorder so far away from the amp... but the good results prove it is a good approach. I liked the quality of the recording.

Nice job Ron. It is a beautiful melody and your tone and technique sound great! I got to do a gig with Bobby G. Rice years ago. It was my first time playing with a Nashville recording artist. It was a package show that also included Kent Westberry and Freddy Weller. Bobby asked me if it would be OK if he played my steel, a Sho Bud Professional. Of course I said yes and he got up during Kent Westberry's part of the show and played Steel Guitar Rag. I went out in the audience and listened to some of it. My Sho Bud never sounded better, he was a better steel player than I was. All three of the artists were really nice people to work for and I got a big kick out of hearing Bobby G. Rice play steel. He told me he had a Sho Bud Lloyd Green model, but that he hadn't played it in quite some time. Thanks for posting this, hearing it brought back that memory.

Thx Dan. It's a matter of lazyness & the sound happened to be good. The recorder was positioned within reach. Although I do have a remote with it.

That's a great story. I didn't know Bobby played steel.

Ron that's a great tune. The recording was real good and that Nashville 1000 sounds wonderful. Excellent job as usual.
