Like many, I will miss Gordon Lightfoot. He had a way with lyrics and melodies. I would like to honor his memory with my steel guitar/ Dobro version of his Summer Side of Life. Of course, I will always love Curly Chalker's versions of those great Lightfoot tunes. Thanks for the music, Gordon Lightfoot.

Well done, Chuck!
Many thanks for the PMs - most helpful. I hope I can achieve a similar result.

Thanks, Roger. As you probably can tell, my recording was done in the 1990s and is analogue, done on my Fostex 8 track. If you decide to not go digital, you still can have hours of fun with analogue recording. Welcome to the rabbit hole.

Of course, Chuck.
I'm awaiting the Tascam 8-track now (later today?) I think that the analogue route will have quite enough twists-and-turns to keep me perplexed. A DAW might have entailed a new computer and this has to be a strictly budgeted endeavour.
As for 'rabbit-holes', don't they come with the territory with steel guitar? Analogue recording can't be any more labyrinthian than the furthest reaches of C6th.
Maybe I'll make up a tune or two; lay a guitar track, then have at it with the Emmons.
It'll keep me off the streets. _________________ Roger Rettig: Emmons D10, Quilter TT-12 & TT-15, B-bender Teles and Martins - and, at last, a Gibson Super 400!
