Hi Everyone,
The song "Once Upon A Time In the West" that Buddy Emmons did is just so beautiful. I just love this song. Buddy did such a pull at the heart string job on it that it brings tears to my eyes. (But then anything he has ever done has been the greatest.) Was wondering if anyone has any kind of tab for this song. I don't know if Buddy ever put any out for it. Like I said, I sure like that song and would love to have any information anyone can give me. Especially you Buddy, if you're out there! Thank-you so much everyone!
Mike

You know mike that song sounds almost like Buddy started an interpretation and the rest of the band went along for the ride. I feel the same way about Chalker's "Long Black Limo"...also Buddy's "Mansion on the Hill"....stop me before I say "Way to...(;>)

You mean the Shoplifter's Theme Song: "Way to Serve Five"?

Mike, this is my favorite song of all time...period!

I first heard it when I saw the movie by the same name, starring Charles Bronson. Rent the movie and just listen to the music.

I thought then that it was the most beautiful melody I had ever heard. Then, Buddy played it (1978?) at the St. Louis Convention and blew me away! I just stood there with my mouth open. That was the first time I ever saw an EBow, too.

I play the tune, but have not tabbed it. If I can find the time, I will try to do it, but I don't know how to post it. I'll try anyway.

Keep in touch.

Bud

Hey Bud I just played the tab thru and it's perfect!!! I really appreciate you taking the time out to do this. Also I hope there will be more from you in the future because you do a very good job and have it sounding like the original! Thanks once again Bud. If everyone wants to play some excellent tab this is the one!
Mike
