My favorite Paycheck tune. A nice slide and smile at the end, Manny. Singing while playing steel is very hard to do!

Harry, thank you. I still remember the first time I saw you play at the Golden Dream in Tiverton, RI around 1960. Unbelievable, you must have come out of the womb playing.

Just listened to your song again tonight, so good.

Many people can sing but can't play steel guitar, many can play steel guitar but can't sing. You do both well. ( I can't do either but I love it!), but MANNY Can do both.

I've always wondered what kind of bar you play with? Is that an Esco-bar? Cool
