| I love Gene Watson's version. I think Buddy Emmons played on that one too. |

Parts of Buddy's steel breaks are on the Rebel & Ricky site:
1995 has the Darrell McCall version.
1966 has a bit of the Ray Price original.

Let us not forget what out illustrious member known for having "Acceptable Tone" did with the song.
I know that we're supposed to be forgiving and all that, but I can't get past what he did. It was just too traumatic. 
(Hint for newbies: he didn't actually play the song, but you'll have to buy the CD to find out what I'm talking about.)

| You mean like when an unexpected guest arrives for dinner, and you've set the table for 4, and now you have to figure out a way to serve five? |

I remember the first time that my good friends Norman Norfolk and Clarence Clue, a well known 60's musical duo on the British Country Music circuit, attempted to play this classic tune.
It wasn't a pretty sight (or sound) when Clues primitive pedal steel mechanism tied itself in knots as he attempted to emulate Buddy, indeed he only got a few bars into the tune (probably lowering the eigth whilst simultaeneously raising 5 and 6) when there was a loud twanging sound from the underside of his steel and the whole mechanism ended up on the floor, so even the steel couldn't find a way to survive.
Clue quit the duo shortly afterwards in mysterious circumstances.... |

Maybe it's a stupid (or at least ignorant) question, but I can't find this song on any of my BE albums - which one is it on?

Very soulful, Dan; I liked this version.
I too, Jim, didn't want to go to my grave without knowing the song. I hope you learn it--or at least, a way to serve five.
It definitely has the earmarks of a classic, the I V I IV bridge.
One can wonder why a song becomes a classic--is it the singer, or the song?--and if a particular player made it a steel standard. Chestnuts can become comical after a while, but nothing funny here.

There is some humor that’s mean spirited and hurtful, and some that is just good lighthearted fun.
The thing I referred to is an atrocious pun based on the title, and falls into the second category. The person who made it (I won’t identify him) is a highly respected younger player, who has always shown the deepest respect for first generation players like Buddy. I know he meant no disrespect for either Buddy or the song.

I bet we missed something good.
But I'll settle for 'a way to serve five.'
Nick sent me the Buddy Emmons version. Very tasty. |
